Drum tab translation feature

2005-01-15 by Stephanie Ellison

Hi gang!

I'm working with a software programmer who is updating his music notation
program with bug fixes and feature additions.  One feature I have asked for is
the ability for the notation program to take a drum tab sheet and decode it into
standard notation.  There is one at
http://drumtabdecoder.takethepowerback.de/index.php
Here you can paste in text and print it out.  However, there are a number of
issues.  You can't save the file, and it won't be able to take triplet 16ths or
quintuplets and render them that way.  It doesn't print all that great, either. 
But is the only one I know of that is available at all.

My question to you was posed by the programmer; is there a demand from drummers
who want to convert drum tabs to standard notation?

Let me know, and I'll see what I can give to the programmer.

Thanks!
