Well, all I did was making the TabStaff display things like "½", etc.

In case the questions arises:
All my codings published on this mailing list or the gernan forum are
public domain, unless I stated different or my coding affects
otherwise licensed stuff. Then the license for this stuff has to be
warranted.

I think the TabStaff should accept quarter tones, etc, otherwise
quarter tone bendings will not be possible to print.
I had some privat mails about this with Federico, he may put up a pull
request at openlilylib.

Maybe I put up a patch for our source as well, but there are so many
things to do. Don't hold your breath for it.

Cheers,
