Hello David, I feel compelled to say this is the best post I have ever seen on this list, on any topic! Marvellous. As an aside, I find the TAB symbol just particularly dreadful. But I often wonder why tablature even needs it - surely it is obvious that what follows is tab, and it does not

Hello Aaron, That did the trick, setting the minimum-distance. I haven't been using these settings, but clearly they interact. Will play around some more. Many thanks, mattfong On Fri, Nov 27, 2020 at 3:09 PM Aaron Hill wrote: > On 2020-11-27 2:56 pm, Matthew Fong wrote: > > Hello Aaron, > >
