Where are the tablatures? Can't find them on that page after I
joined.
Is a special program needed to view them? What's "jeune"? Looks like
an audio file but I can't hear it.

Subject: [LUTE] Re: lilypond for tab using mac, any experienced users?
| Since the discussion is about music printing and publishing
software, I
| have to put in my 2 cents worth.
|
| I can claim that I am a programmer also, since I write (sometimes
sloppy)
| HTML, but this entry method (as in alexander's message below) is way
too
| much hassle for me. I will contend (and defend this contention to
| whatever length someone desires in a debate) that SCORE is the
ultimate
| program for setting high quality tablature. Yes, Fronimo is a
reasonably
| well-thought-out tablature program, and Francesco has done a
marvelous
| job of creating beautiful and highly legible fonts, but Fronimo
still
| lacks the flexibility necessary for high-quality publishing, and
SCORE
| had that already more than twenty years ago.
|
| Output I created in 1989 is here:
| http://lutegroup.ning.com/profile/Libertylute
| Yes, I know that PDF files were not around then, but the PostScript
files
| I just converted into these PDFs bear creation dates of 16 July
1989.
| This transcription was done a few weeks after I acquired the
program, so
| I used a standard font (Zapf Chancery). Remember, you couldn't just
| download any font you want off the Internet in those days -- it took
a
| while to locate and purchase ware back then. I was obviously not
| completely satisfied with the solution for the "d" tablature
character,
| since I used a couple of different versions. Now days, lots of nice
tab
| fonts are available, and it is much less difficult to create your
own
| than it was then. The point here is the spacing of the music and
the
| page layout in general. Any almost infinitesimal variation in staff
size
| and placement is available. Any almost infinitesimal variation in
the
| size and location of any object on the staff is available. Each
object on
| the page, including each character, has its own parameters, and they
are
| editable by the user. The horizontal spacing of the ojects on a
staff is
| done with a simple letter command (LJ, for "line up and justify"),
| generating this effortless-appearing layout.

| Daniel Heiman
