Yes, most of what you say Roman is correct, however I wouldn't say that it is a 'problem' that I wrote it for use by myself. Any Mac user, as I do, can run Windows and enjoy the excellent features of Django, Fronimo, Tab and others. My program is a different kind of tool which enables me to efficiently undertake jobs such as encoding large manuscripts such as Herbert of Cherbury, Cracow 40032, the incipits of all Italian 17th manuscript sources etc. It also produces voice-separated Midi files to facilitate conversion to staff notation - several lute professionals, when recording CDs, have asked me to translate their tab into staff notation for the recording studio.
