Tablature is a notational system used for fretted stringed

note heads are replaced by numbers (or sometimes letters)
indicating which fret is to be stopped, with 0 representing
an open string.

I've uploaded a beta of musixtex.tex version 1.29 which
incorporates support for tablature notation, adapted from
R.J. Gelten's tabdefs.tex.  See Section 18.10 of musixdoc.pdf
for examples and documentation.  Comments and suggestions
will be welcomed.

Thank you so much for this version making me able to update the lute tablatures of my modern edition of Orazio Vecchi's 'Selva' (see IMSLP)

As a test I've updated the M-Tx code of the initial 4 bars of the lute part plus keyboard transcription of the canzonetta 'Damon e Filli' for 4 singers and lute. The lute part is notated in Italian lute tablature.

See http://icking-music-archive.org/cmo/music/outgoing/Vecchi/ where tabtest2.mtx is the M-Tx source referencing additional macros in tablmacros3.tex. The musixtex.lua output is tabtest2.pdf plus intermediate pmx- and tex- files.
