After deleting the double spaces at the start of each line I can see the score but, apart from the C:http line there is no tablature.

I can do text tab using Unicode characters that looks like this;

[code]
E+-----------------------------------------------------------+R
B¦---+-----3-------+-1-----------+-------------+-------------¦E
G¦---+-0-----4h2p0-+-----2-----2-+-4p2-0-------+-------0-----¦P
D¦-0-+-------------+-------4h5---+-0-----2h4-2-+-0h2-4-----0-¦E
A¦---+-------2-----+-3-----0-----+-------3-----+-------------¦A
E+-----3-----------------------------------------2-----3-----+T

. + . 1 + + 2 + + . 1 + + 2 + + . 1 + + 2 + + . 1 + + 2 + +
[/code]

but this is eight lines of text to one line of notation. Even if ABC can display it the files would be tedious to generate.

Is there some way ABC can read and display these text characters?

(sorry, I've forgotten how to get mono spaced text on here)
