Ability to Import TablEdit Files
I notice that MuseScore 4 will import Guitar Pro files and also, in pilot, PowerTab files. I have a website (https://www.stevemcwilliam.co.uk/guitar/tab.htm) with a large number of TablEdit files on it for free download and I have been a user of TablEdit since 1994. I would very much like to make the pages of files I currently have available made available on the MuseScore library in Musescore (.mscz) format.
I have attempted exporting from TablEdit in MusicXML, Midi and pdf formats but have come across many issues which at present I do not have the ability to solve. An import mechanisms/function in MuseScore to accept TablEdit (.tef) files would assist greatly and would ease my learning curve and workload as well as providing the ability for many hundreds of thousands of TablEdit users to follow my example.
Many thanks for any help you can provide in this direction.
The TablEdit author (Matthieu Leschemelle) can be contacted via: matt0308@tabledit.com and the website can be seen over at: https://tabledit.com/

Same issue ... following this thread closely.
Hello,
I've just written a specification for the new TablEdit 3.0 file format, in effect since 2020.
I'm at the disposal of MuseScore developers.
Best regards

Hi Steve,
could you explain what issues prevent you from using MusicXML ? Depending on the complexity of the TablEdit file format, native support in MuseScore could require significant effort. The aim of MusicXML was to reduce this effort by having a single interchange format. Thus developer time may be better spent on improving MusicXML transfer between TablEdit and MuseScore.
