> I'm not sure I understand the question :) The problem is MusicXML, which records only fret and midi-pitch for modern tabulature.
Modern tabulature is basically french form using numerals. Guitar, banjo, and mandolin (possibly bouzuki and modern cittern too) are published in modern tabulature; and musicXML is becoming a popular plain-text file format. I am not sure that it is enough to record fret and pitch (as musicXML does). I am reminded here that this is not good enough for some tunings of 5-string banjo where it leaves a series of ambiguous notes on courses 1 & 5. I am not familiar with balalaika play to know if the doubbled top strings are commonly stopped independantly, or always played as a single course. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
