Martyn--
I'll second the recommendation for abctab2ps. It does a variety of
tab styles as well as staff notation (multiple staves, an assortment of
clefs, lyrics), and tab with staff. And it's free. Christoph Dalitz keeps
the program well-maintained, and the manual for it is very clear. Runs on
Mac or PC. Christoph is very helpful with set up and questions. Certainly
worth a try. I can send you some ps or pdf samples if you'd like.
Regards,
Leonard Williams
