Likewise. I can play OK from either, but I prefer tab between the lines, not on them. I doubt you can make a clearcut case for either; I think it's more a matter of preference/habit.
Any tablature guidelines that you come up with need to accommodate the fact that different people are going to have different preferences about things like on/off the line symbols, fonts, even things like how many measures to a stave and staves to a page (I like to be able to pack them in or stretch them out if necessary to avoid awkward breaks). I'd also prefer flexibility in measure numbering, although that's more important for accompaniment or ensemble playing. -----Original Message----- From: Spring, aus dem, Rainer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 7:51 AM To: Lute@cs.dartmouth.edu Subject: [LUTE] Re: tablature notation guidelines -----Original Message----- From: G.

The arguement >that its easy(er) to read should hold ground quite nicely! Not at all. And I can't see any reason why it should.
