Print and sharing

Export shamisen tablature to PDF

A good PDF begins before the print dialog. Check page structure, headings, spacing, and page breaks so the exported score remains readable in rehearsal and performance.

The File menu covers project files, music imports, printing, and PDF output.

Prepare the page

Switch to Page view, confirm the score heading, inspect system breaks, and make sure lyrics, comments, and navigation marks do not collide.

Use the print workflow

Open File and choose Print. In the browser print dialog, select a PDF destination when available and verify paper size, orientation, margins, scale, and background graphics.

Keep the editable source

A PDF is intended for reading and printing, not continued notation editing. Save the ShamiTab project file separately so the arrangement can be revised later.
