Twelve Assistant Tab Editor
Twelve Assistant Tab Editor is a web-based tool for creating, editing, playing, and sharing guitar tablatures by entering notes on a fretboard. Notes retain their intervals within the active scale, so users can change scales while continuing the same tab. Entry can be melodic or chord-based, with chord notes stacked across strings. Rhythm notation can show note lengths, stems, beams, rests, and automatically handled bars, or be hidden for a simpler sequence. Users can adjust beat duration and fingering, delete beats, and add effects such as bends, vibrato, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides. Playback follows the score's rhythm and rests at an adjustable tempo. Multiple named tabs can be created, renamed, duplicated, or deleted, with automatic saving. Tabs can also be pinned to a music stand, arranged on a sheet, and printed. Access is through the website on a personal computer and requires a high-speed internet connection. The free Guitar and Harmony plans each cost nothing and limit users to three songs and a selection of scales. Premium Unlimited costs €9.99 a month and combines Guitar, Harmony, and Trainer with unlimited workspaces.
