Hello, In French Lute tablature (e.g. music of Dowland), the rhythm is:
1. notated as stems above the staff. 2. All the voices are truncated into one (example: if there is quarter notes in top voice and half notes in bottom, they would all be notated as quarter notes) 3. The flags are "double" what modern notation uses, so a quarter note has one flag, eighth note has two flags, etc. Half notes have a kind of very, very short flag to the left. 4. Stems are only indicated when there is a change in rhythmic value. If there is a succession of the same rhythmic value, for example, only the first note will be stemmed until there is a change (e.g. from eighth to quarter, or eighth to half note, etc.) This is a decent example: http://www.guitarandlute.com/tab.gif And this is the file that I am working on: https://github.com/pikurasa/MutopiaProject/blob/Dowland-Fantasie-7-Variatie-Robert-Dowland/ftp/DowlandJ/Lute/Fantasies/001/A-Fantasie-1-Robert-two-staves.ly Does anyone know how to indicate this for the tab staff? Is there a stock command that does this or a hack? And if this feature does not exist, then where is the best place to request it?
