Hi,
Looking at the documentation for non-guitar tab staves
(http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Non_002dguitar-tablatures.html
),
I realized that the example might be simplified. In particular, in the
following snippet, both staves look exactly the same:
\version "2.11.34"
\new TabStaff \with { stringTunings = #'(-5 -10 -15 -20)}
{ a,4 c' a e' e c' a e' }
\new TabStaff <<
\set TabStaff.stringTunings = #'(-5 -10 -15 -20)
{ a,4 c' a e' e c' a e' }
>>
I think the first one is much more natural, since it creates a TabStaff with a
given tuning. For the second one, one needs to know abit more about the
internals (i.e. you need to know that you are inside a TabStaff, and you need
to create parallel music)...
Is there any reason for the current (second) version, and is there any
official preference for any of the two forms?
Cheers,
Reinhold
