Features

Kinetic analyzes a guitar score and performs computations so as to annotate it. The application supports:

• outputting either a tablature or an annotated MusicXML file;
• searching and selecting the “best” positions on the fretboard where to play the notes;
• barrés (full and partial);
• defining a right margin (for wrapping lines) for tablatures;
• proportionally spacing the notes in a measure with respect to their respective durations;
• defining the unit width of the proportional spacing;
• automatically switching between fixed spacing and proportional spacing;
• all types of barlines (normal bars, double bars and repeat bars);
• extra-metric groupings (duplets, triplets, quaruplets, etc.) that are simple, meaning that do not contain silences;
• single-dot and double-dot notes;
• repeats (Coda, Da capo, Dal segno, etc.);
• dynamics (piano, pianissimo, forte…);
• assigning a predefined letter to each note duration (from longas to hundred twenty-eighth notes);
• standard accidentals (sharps, flats, double sharps, double flats and naturals);
• numbering all or part of the measures;
• automatically including lines (measure numbers, note durations, repeats, etc.) in the tablature.
