Speaking only for me, probably because I am a classical guitarist, I'm used to decipher many sorts of historic tablatures. Mostly italian and french tablatures. The tablature used by Luis Milan. Alfabeto Italiano, etc. Not to mention german tablature, though I never understood german tablature, or more precisely I never _wanted_ to... Studying those deeply, gives me a better feeling how to perform the music, with regard to note-durations, voices, polyphony, etc As you write yourself: > Of course, getting good notes out requires _more_ than this since the > tablature only shows note starts, not note ends.

As a performer I'm not very interested in modern typeset tablatures. Ofcourse I'm aware many people are. I mostly do tablature work, when answering user-requests on the list, lol. So I'm sure your "tab-input-mode" will find lots of enthusiastic users.
