hmm, ok, I read into this a desire for some abstracted form of notation in the
file, and on screen or in print a 'presentation' of that. I agree in

Jon,
I can agree with the intent of your principle whereby...

however, in the case of tablature it has a serious flaw.
Tablature implies but generally does not specify note durations.
Daniel and Alain,
I confess my ignorance as to music printing and exchange software, and it
had been a long day and a longer evening. As usual, when late at night, I
tried to draw the general to the specific.

Hi all,
I totally agree with Daniel's message, and I want to add a couple of

Alain and Thomas,
I promised to read Alain's long message, it is printed but I spent all of
today driving to a speciality wood supplier to get what I needed for the
proper lute I'm making (to replace the flat back I've learned on). And I've
only scanned Thomas' message.
There is a history, going
Thomas,
Many thanks for sharing this information: it seems to confirm my hunch,
unfortunately. I think of this situation as similar to
the one of luthiers if Yamaha started a line of semi-expensive lutes.
They would not be happy.
Tschuss,

Yes. Opinions of the suitability (let alone quality) of one program
over the other are all relative.
If you read postings to the Score list, you will see that the really
"professional" engravers would not touch Finale with a barge pole. They
use Score instead.

Dear Alain and others,
being a programmer by myself I highly appreciate the work and effort put in
programs like Django or Fronimo. I would call both of them professional
products which during the time I followed their development moved far above
the initial purpose to simply enter tabulature
