Subject: Guitar tablature format query
Attention guitarists :

I am still perfecting the Guitar Tablature option of HARMONY, and have a few questions on preferred format. I have already looked at various tablature programs, which seem to disagree on the display

Q1. What is the preferred convention for tails/stalks, flags and beams on the notes.

Tails on ALL quavers 8th notes & shorter? Or just those joined by beams? In abc terms, what if you have |a2b c2d|? In this case the 8th notes b and d will be 'stand-alone' on the score

Q2. If tails on all 8th notes, do you show flags on the tails for unbeamed quavers?

Q3. Do you show multiple beams or flags for 16th (i.e. 2 beams) & 32nd notes (3 beams) in the same way as a score?

Q4. Do you expect tails/stalks on quarter notes (Crotchets) or Half-notes?

Q5. I have shown Hammer-on and Pull-off by a letter over a slur - is this OK?

Q6 Slurs are only shown on Tablature if the two notes are on the same string - is that correct?

Thanks in advance
