David,
I agree with your preferences, especially about the diapassons.
FWIW, here are some personal guidelines that have crystalized through the
years, and this in relation to tablatures only, I'm not talking about grand

These days there are many software packages enabling everybody to
produce tablatures. Many of us do, for free on our websites or in
home-made inexpensive editions. Not all of these tablatures are as
beautiful, or as easy to read. For the free or inexpensive editions
that's fine with me; if the cont
Just wanted to mention, some of PDF readers automatically update the
output, i. e. after first creating .ly file, i look at the .pdf output
on OKULAR (new KDE pdf reader). If i have to make any repairs, i do,

Yeah!
But jokes aside, if one would actually take a look at, and play from
tablature on the lines, one could easily see what I'm trying to say. The
arguement that its easy(er) to read should hold ground quite nicely!

Likewise. I can play OK from either, but I prefer tab between the lines, not

a matter of preference/habit.

I think, maybe, we can skip the prejudicial ad-hominem remarks.

I just think we need the choice. We have half-a-loaf of choice and are
