Thanks!!!

It works now. I suppose the next step is harder (doing something useful).
I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss what I want to do (and
maybe I should create a new thread), but I will mention it now.

I play the theorbo (a type of large baroque lute) as well as the baroque
guitar. I have been using Musescore for about 1.5 years now to create
performing editions of scores (for personal use). The software works
wonderfully for many things, such as creating editions of pieces for voices
and basso continuo from old manuscripts.

But what is lacking is a full-featured lute tablature editor (including
support for the baroque guitar which has some notation that is specific to
it, such as alfabeto chords). Basic support already exists in MuseScore for
lute tablature but it doesn't compare with other proprietary programs for
creating lute tablature. My thought is to try to enhance the tablature
support in MuseScore.

As I get started, I have been communicating with Professor Tim Crawford at
Goldsmiths, University of London. He researches notation and he has
developed a language called TabCode to represent lute tablature. Here is a
page from that project (click "TabCode" at bottom of page):
http://doc.gold.ac.uk/isms/ecolm/database/?type=41&ID=191&TextID=645 

I thought that, as a way for me to get my feet wet in Musescore development,
I could write an import/export function to convert tablature represented in
TabCode to MuseScore.

Any thoughts (besides "yuck what sort of a moron uses tablature
nowadays...")? For the study of these historical instruments, tablature is
essential and it would be great to have an open-source program to rely on to
produce scores.
