Alexander put the four voices in four variables and then combined them in one tab staff.
I created two staves and associated two of those for with the top staff and two with the bottom one and combined the two staves into one score. If you look at the code you will see segments that look like this << A B >> That means that A and B run in lockstep the same time. This can be done recursively, in the sense that A and B themselves are <<...>> constructs. > Some of the flag stems are touching fret-glyphs, some are not (which is > better); I notice the following code: > >> \override TabStaff.TabNoteHead #'extra-offset = #'(0 . .3) I do not know what it means, but my guess is that you are right. > it seems to work well for the lower voice of each stave, but the upper > voice seems to touch the fretglyphs; is another similar statement needed > for each of the two upper voices? I do not know the scoping rules in detail, but I guess that each new TabStaff segment needs its own redefinitions of the defaults. You can avoid knowing the rules, by simply putting whatever you want to re-use in a variable, which you then include wherever you like > is this affecting both voices in the staff, or is another needed for the > higher voice? This is where some tweaking is needed, but once you have it you can recycle it forever. As I said before, I am a parasitic user, i.e. I just blindly duplicated what Alexander came up with.
