Modern instrumentalists of string instruments (guitar, banjo, mandolin, etc.) use a hybrid form of tablature in which notes have (downward) stems and beams attached. I believe this kind of tablature was first introduced by Pete Seeger in his banjo instruction book first published in 1948.
I've developed a package that combines traditional Gelten tablature notation already in MusiXTeX with the stems and beams of conventional music notation. The package is available at WIMA. Bob Tennent
