Only vaguely related: Has there ever been any interest in adding a
guitar tablature editor to Rosegarden?

I think adding it to RG while maintaining the ability to also
display/edit it *as a score* would be really tough.

I'm envisioning it as a new/separate tablature editor window, like
the matrix and event editors vs notation.
On second thought, although I still like the tablature editor idea, a
better design might be to integrate tablature directly into the
notation editor. Each normal standard notation staff could have an
optional tablature staff directly above (or below) it. Likewise, if
the user was only interested in tablature, the standard staff could be
disabled/hidden.
I've only played with Musescore very casually/briefly (and only
version 3, not the radically revamped new version 4 which doesn't run
on my current system) and it has this capability. Sort of. Tablature
staves can be created and positioned at will but they're completely
disconnected from any standard notation staff -- notes entered in
tablature don't appear in standard and vice-versa (the latter being
the previously mentioned A.I. problem). Maybe there's a way to link
them but if so it wasn't obvious to me.
MuseScore instructions on doing tablature:
https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/tablature
I think when I did it, I changed an existing staff to tablature, since
my goal was to convert an existing score into tab. That turned the staff
into tablature, replacing the score, and I wasn't editing anything in
MuseScore. I think if you create your score/tab using the New Score
Wizard, maybe MuseScore links them?
In any case, there's no reason why Rosegarden couldn't have something
like this, done correctly with live linking between the staves. Well,
no reason except for the need to find someone with the ability to
implement it and the willingness to volunteer a few hundred hours of
software development effort to do so. ;) And then even more to
review, validate, test, integrate, and accept it into the Rosegarden
codebase.
Any volunteers? ;)
That's always the problem!
