And now about basses and bass guitars. 1) The instruments.xml file contains entries for: A) bass guitar, B) acoustic bass, C) electric bass. Are they 3 different instruments or A) is just a generic name for both B) and C)? 2) *MIDI*: They are assigned 3 different MIDI channels: A) 34, B) 32, C) 3

Thank you for your feedback, Marc! Sure, there is something that I can try in order to make this work. From what I can deduce reading the documentation and seeing the class hierarchy. Qt's accessibility mechanism looks something like this for all classes that inherit QWidget:

Does tab make sense on fretless string instruments? No tab, no stringdata needed, right? Accoustic bass would (always?) be fretless, bass guitar and electric bass usually not. Bye, Jojo -- Learn Graph Databases - Download

Marc, thanks for the reply. Now that you say it, I think I remember having read about this equivalence acoustic bass <=> contrabass in another thread either here on the ML or in the fora. Just to avoid future repetitions of the question, I think I will change the acoustic bass entry in this way:

I find Andrei's comments interesting. I play diatonic accordion. With them, tablatures are also similarly made but instead of strings, we have rows of buttons, and instead of fret, we have the button number. I think the more MuseScore tabs are customizable, the more it will be easy to adapt th
