Re: Guitar tab string numbers

[Phil Burfitt]

Ciao Federico,

Thanks, I've since found that using TabStaff.minimumFret helps reduce the 
need to define string numbers. I've also discovered some unexpected 
behaviour in the tab string numbering (though this may be because I'm using 
developmental version 2.13.17). It seems that its neccessary to indicate all 
(or none) of the string numbers in a chord. In the example below, the g and 
b should be open strings in the tab.

\version "2.13.17"

music = \relative c { <e\5 g b> }

\score { <<
 \new Staff {
  \clef "treble_8"
\music
  }
 \new TabStaff {
\music
  }
> > }

Regards,
Phil Burfitt
