Oops, yes, I forgot Cabezon.
Of course, it is remarkable that both Paumann and Cabezon were blind.
So their tablature systems may have nothing to do with technology or typography
but with their blindness.
Does anybody personally know any blind musician?
How on earth did Walcha manage to learn the whole organ oeuvre of Bach and
Reger by heart?

This is untrue. There were other types of keyboard tablature, such as the
Spanish tablature used by Cabez�n in which the staff comprised as many lines as
there were voices (the duos only having two lines, for example) and the notes
were indicated with numbers 1 to 7, to which signs were added to indicate the
octave. It is actually pretty straightforward to play from.

This seems to be a very poor argument since - apart from German organ tablature
- music for keyboard was NOT notated in tablature.
