It’s been too long, but it’s finally available.

You won’t be seeing more than a login screen for now. Send me a PM if you want an account together with what username you want, if you care about that. In the coming weeks I will be improving it in many ways. With your feedback I think this will be really cool for us here at Bachido.
For example, in the future the tab editor will be what you see even if you don’t have a login. It will only be the PDF generating that will require an account. People will be able to create their own accounts as well instead of me creating them for the ever increasing amount of shamisen enthusiasts.
As for feedback, I’m mostly interested in issues that make it impossible for you to create what you want. It can be critical bugs or lack of features. Please discuss in the thread. If you have account issues, just take it over PM with me. As for the looks and minor bugs, I’m aware of quite a few but the site should be ready for you guys.
Now for some info/guide.
You can only create one page at a time today. This will be fixed later.
Click on where you want to add a note. The measurement lines will be added automatically.
This notation differs a bit from what you might have seen. In this tab, each position is relative to the measure. This means there are no duration lines. Instead, look at the distance between notes and compose accordingly.
Currently, when you change the time signature, the measure lines will be calculated so that you can fit enough 16th notes according to your signature.
The different techniques look much better when generating a PDF. Try it out.
All pdfs will be removed after 10-20 minutes. I have to have this solution currently since I don’t want to host copyrighted material. So make sure you save your PDF and if you want to share it with people, host it on another site because the link you get will not be useful after the time limit.
You can save and load files using file names. Currently you need to remember the name you saved it as if you want to be able to load it.
IMPORTANT When you save, this is saved locally on your computer. Your web browser (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Opera etc.) will be saving the data on your disk. If you know about cookies or “clean up temporary internet files”, these could potentially remove your song. Most browsers do not empty this new type of storage called “local storage” when you clean cookies, but you should be aware of this. If you have any more questions regarding this feel free to ask them.
Alright, PM on if you want to make some tabs.
