I'm going to chime in here. I lurk on this list and once thought I could
help out with tablature, but found I just couldn't wrap my mind around
lilypond internals. Many tabs, especially banjo tabs print on the spaces
because it is just a lot easier to read. The reissue of The Banjo
Pickers Fake Book (one of our bibles) was printed this way. Also, as an
old guy with eyes that are getting dimmer, I'd sure appreciate it if
this could be done.
My 2 cents. Thanks for listening.
