I know almost nothing about historical instrument tablature but great to
hear you manage to get Prof. Tim Crawford feedback.
Tabcode import sounds like a good start. Every time someone come up with an
idea for an import filter in MuseScore, I pitch the idea of going through
MusicXML and so create a TabCode to MusicXML converter might be something
to consider before doing TabCode to MuseScore. MusicXML is supported by
hundreds of applications but I have no idea if it has enough support of
tablature for what you are trying to do but if it does, it would a
tabcode2musicxml would unlock more use cases. If it's not possible, TabCode
import in MuseScore is welcome.
