I think you've known too few guitar players, or too seasoned ones.
Most people that play guitar (not pro guitar players) that I know would
hesitate when confronted to a F#7sus4. Though maybe you're a Jazz or Fusion
player and use that chord extensively ;-)

 Well, okay, the ones who don't know any music theory wouldn't know what
 I meant, but fuck 'em -- all they know is pentatonic minor anyway.  :)

Hey, what's wrong with that? It's not what you know, but how you use
it :-P ;-)

They might not know the answer, but they'd certainly be able to parse

Unless they play like me, and just say, that chord must use more than
three fingers.  Doesn't sound punk rock to me.  F# it is.  :)  

But yes, to answer your question seriously.

I don't think anyone who doesn't already know what guitar tablature is
is going to care about this.

I think string and fret notation is baby-talking it.  I don't think
I've ever met a guitar player who wouldn't know what I meant if I said,

Google seems to disagree, so i'd rather not change.

yep

 I'd say, Printing support and playback are available via external
 programs.

 Songwrite was formely know as GTablature.

 Songwrite was formerly known as GTablature, is better.

right


Thx for your help.

No.

You don't need to mention what the program was written in.

 It is the new name of GTablature, and now use Tk instead of Gtk.
 Songwrite can open the GTablature's files, and has a very similar look
 and feel.

Instead of talking about how Songwrite relates to GTablature, mention
its history in one sentence and then describe what Songwrite (and thus,
GTablature) does.
