Put your music in
Drop a whole zip or any number of loose files. Everything is read here in the browser; nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Every tune that arrives with a melody gets its skeleton, outline and full version built automatically on the way in. You adjust the corners by ear afterwards — you never start from nothing.
| format | what comes out |
|---|---|
| .mid .midi | the melody, complete — notes become numbers automatically |
| .xml .musicxml .mxl | the melody, complete, plus the written key |
| .abc | the melody, complete, plus the key and metre |
| .tef | title, composer, notes, instruments and tunings — but not the melody (see below) |
| .json | a Workshop or Sets of Eight backup, read straight back in |
TablEdit's .tef is a closed binary format. The Workshop reads everything around the notes — which is enough to build your catalogue — but the notes themselves have to come out of TablEdit as MIDI. The instructions that came with this file explain the one-time export.
Your library
Tap a note: once makes it a corner (skeleton) · twice a passing tone (outline) · three times clears it back to decoration.
Type or paste the numbers instead
Send it to Sets of Eight
In Sets of Eight: More → Shelf → Backup and import, paste into the box, tap Import.
Every tune the Workshop has read, whether or not it has a melody yet.
