I wrote this years ago, but I did write it to be very flexible.
http://home.hiwaay.net/~jehle/downloads.htmhttp://home.hiwaay.net/~jehle/zip/RiffPad.zip
RiffPad was written so a friend and I could email guitar riffs back and forth. Yeah, it'll copy/paste into Microsoft app like Word or Outlook.
I added a text only paste mode because I had to submit some tab to a website and that's all they would accept.
Anyway... download at will and play around with it. No clue if I have the source code any more so any requests to improve it or fix bugs will be hard to do. :)
Enjoy,
Jehle

Oooops, I just saw this. Sorry. So what tab software does it to take traditional music notation (on 5 line staff) and convert it to fret positions on [6 string] guitar layout. Take a look at the one I just put up for worried life blues. That's called tab notation. RiffPad, GuitarPro, TuxGuitar allow you to take traditional music and produce the tab. I didn't do that on Worried Life Blues, but I could easily have.

Jehle, Can you tell me breifly/elementarily what a person does with "tab software."
For those of you who want a tab editor, there is a free (as in beer) editor that reads guitarpro and powertab files (I think):
* Tablature editor
* Score Viewer
* Multitrack display
* Autoscroll while playing
* Note duration management
* Various effects (bend, slide, vibrato, hammer-on/pull-off)
* Support for triplets (5,6,7,9,10,11,12)
* Repeat open and close
* Time signature management
* Tempo management
* Imports and exports gp3,gp4 and gp5 files
