Dear Arthur, Francesco is about to release the new version of Fronimo, which should be even better than the current one. I find it very easy to use and (perhaps strangely for a tab program) very good for staff notation. I often use it to create scores incorporating lute tab for three or four lutes in different tunings plus staff notation parts for other instruments - being able to play it back on the computer is brilliant for arranging, and of course for spotting errors! I hope you enjoy it.
