I was asked to post the tabs for House of the Rising Sun. OK. Found some free software (TuxGuitar) and I have done the tabs. How do I get them onto CBN so people can see them?

The only visual file that the program produces is a PDF but these are stupidly small. I have solved it this time by doing a screen grab and editing in Photoshop. Next time I will try some different software if I can find any. Thanks for the suggestion.
This is what I did from the screen cap, and rearranging it a bit in Photoshop (and bumping up the size). As you can see, I chopped out the top line to make it easier to read.
That is what the prog produces. I am working on another solution. What I have done is taken a screen grab and saved it as a tiff. I will rearrange it a bit to fit better with a normal screen layout and post as a jpeg. The screen image is much better than the pdf it makes. Free software, so I suppose I can't exactly ask for my money back.

Hey John
Any chance you can do tabs for Amaising Grace ?

Clearly better software. Two questions. Is it free and will it run on a Mac?
All the best.

They look rather blurry, but you are right. There they are. Many thanks Eric.
If this works then the House of the Rising Sun tabs should be here.
