Hi Bernie,

This is not a bug. You are aware that the guitar is a transposing instrument and that it sounds an octave lower than how it's notated? It is absolutely correct that the middle C (C4 or c') lies on the first fret on the b-string. If you are writing music for guitar, you have to use \clef "G_8". If you are writing for bass guitar, you have to use \clef "F_8".

Kind regards,
  Erlend

Guitar tabs don't work correctly! Every note you write into a tab staff is shown
one octave higher than it is.

Example: c' appears as a finger in the 1st fret on the b-string. It should
appear (one octave lower) as a finger in the 3rd fret on the a-String.

Try it out :-)

It seems that whoever wrote the code for tabs didn't know which octaves are
played where on the guitar:

c''' should be 8th fret on e-string
c'' should be 1st fret on b-string
c' should be 3rd fret on a-string

Or am I wrong? I checked it in other guitar scores I have at home...
