| The only way I'm aware of is to upload your already created files. Click "go advanced" when you want to post a chart or manuscript. If you don't already have music writing software , there are several options available. You can download Finale notepad, which I thinkis free, or SIbelius has a starter program that is relatively inexpensive. There are probably others. YOu may have to convert your Finale of Sibelius files into pdf's but there are free downloads on the web that work well. I use www.pdfforge.org. LAstly, look around at some of the posts on this site. There are all kinds of things being posted. If you find something you like and want to find out how it was done, I'm sure that the poster would be happy yo tell you how they did it. |

| I've been checking out various notation software and so far most often use GuitarPro. GuitarPro - for me is the quickest software to notate with that I've tried, (but that is partially because I've used it the most). Also on the positive side, there is a lot of free notated music available on the web in GuitarPro. And it's relatively inexpensive. On the negative side, it doesn't have 'slash' notation for making chord rhythm notation, and when you notate a bend in tab the resulting standard notation only shows the note that the bend begins on (i.e. it doesn't show the actual note sounding in the standard notation). Also, it only allows two independent voices per stave, which for me is seldom a problem but a problem none the less. There is free software that is similar called 'Power Tab'. The output isn't as clean looking but it works pretty much the same. |

| I have PowerTab and GuitarPro but the problem with PowerTab seems to be that their song archive is tied up in a copyright brawl, so if you find a PwrTab song listed on 911TABSand follow the links you can't actually get the song. I notice the PowTab site says they are negotiating a deal with publishers but that message is a couple of years old. |
