Horn Tabs Transposer

Horn Tab Transposing Program!!

Hi all! I've been using this site off and on for years. A couple weeks ago Bomb the Music Industry! put out a new EP and I sat down to tab the horn parts out on it so me and a friend could play the songs on the iPod tour that Jeff did. However, I found it extremely tedious to, once I'd tabbed a song out, transpose it from Bb (for my bass clarinet) to Eb (his alto).

On his suggestion I wrote a little tab transposer in C++ and then ported it to PHP. It only works with capital letters and #/b although soon I'll be modifying it for the +/- notation as well. Also any line that is not a horn part should be commented out with the '#', see the examples I give if that doesn't make sense.

Here is the original write up I did for it: http://www.scootjohns.com/code/htt.html

Here is the web version if you don't feel like using the C++ http://www.scootjohns.com/code/htt1.html

And here are two tabs you can test it on, Planning My Death by Bomb the Music Industry!

By the end of the week I should have the web version looking a little prettier, but go ahead and mess with it! If anything breaks please let me know by copying whatever shows up and posting it here or emailing me at rulingskamonkey at gmail dot com

Thanks!!
