Limitations
Some limitations of the software include:
- Notes can only be inserted in tabulature; it is not possible to enter music in standard modern music notation.
- Power Tab Editor can only utilize up to a maximum of seven guitars across both scores (i.e. MIDI voices).
- Pick-up measures, for example, are counted as errors although they are commonly used in music.
- Swung/shuffle time with swung notes cannot be applied to start or stop part-way through a measure. Conversely, notes in 'even time' cannot be notated within a measure where swung time applies.
- When using high and low melodies, redundant rests that are left out (as in regular notation) are counted as errors.
- A Segno cannot be used for more than one D.S.. A Double Segno must be added in the same position.
- The tremolo, reverb and chorus effects only work on computers where their MIDI drivers and hardware support it.
Detailed bugs are listed in the Power Tab Knowledge Base.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
“Growing up means letting go of the dearest megalomaniacal dreams of our childhood. Growing up means knowing they can’t be fulfilled. Growing up means gaining the wisdom and skills to get what we want within the limitations imposed by reality—a reality which consists of diminished powers, restricted freedoms and, with the people we love, imperfect connections.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“To note an artist’s limitations is but to define his talent. A reporter can write equally well about everything that is presented to his view, but a creative writer can do his best only with what lies within the range and character of his deepest sympathies.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
