This question is not related to e2 having a stem or not...
I can imagine a stemless number with a circle arout it, or something
like that.
That's why my primary question is what the TAB standard is (are).
I don't think there are any standards for tablature. There are many
different traditions according to historical eras and geographical
locations. As someone who has always read standard notation, I would be
really confused by tab that didn't have regular stems/flags and stuff.
But then I find any tablature laborious to read. It's just my lack of
experience with it.
How do you tell anyway now whether it's e4 or e2?
e4 has a stem (just like an ordinary quarter note)
a2 should not have a stem (just like an ordinary half note)
Err...ordinary half-notes have stems, don't they?
