Re: [PATCH] Tablature in LilyPond

[Rune Zedeler]

Okay, I took a loog at the patch.
Generally it looks very nice! :-)
I have a few comments though.

The string tuning is an octave off! I know that guitar traditionally is 
notated an octave above where it actually sounds, but I prefer solving 
this by keeping the tunings in their real octave and then typeset the 
notes using the "G_8"-clef. Of course this is not a real problem when 
custom string tunings are introduced. (soon, hopefully?)

I would really like if you would stick to no-direction finger-markings 
in the example (i.e. c'-2 instead of c'^2). This way we allow for c_3 
and c^3 to mean other things in the future - I still like the idea of 
entering notes by fret instead of by string.

I agree with Jan that the numbers are too small, but increasing the size 
will make the numbers clash in chords, so I don't really know... Perhaps 
using a bold-face font will be enough...?
