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?
