Using the Alt plus number trick I found I can do perfect Guitar tab in s simple text editor like note pad. Not the spaced out gappy stuff you get on line but proper looking tab.

I tried posting with it here but it doesn't work. The font needs to be set to Courier New and I don't seem to be able to do that here.

. .1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + .

It looks like this. All the spacing goes wrong. Pity.
