Thanks Richard.
However, thinking twice.. I don't think that using two staves is the way 
to go. Why duplicating the staves when you can easily tweak the .ly 
source to add a TabStaff?  I mean, there's no point of having two 
identical staves.

I think that music students can stand a bit of lilypond tweaking if most 
of the editing is done in a GUI. I'm thinking about people who started 
using Dreamweaver and then gradually learn some html.
Sorry for the bad comparison! ;-)

I have a problem with tweaking lilypond source _within Denemo_ 
(exporting to .ly works fine).
I click on View>Lilypond and I would expect to see some text in bold, 
which, according to the doc, is the text which can be edited inside 
Denemo. But nothing is in bold.. and I can't change anything.
Why?
