Allow for both Old and New style TAB clef

• Nov 1, 2010 - 14:43

Currently the TAB clef is a script font which is good for lute tabs, but for modern guitar TABs, an upper case bold sans serif

T
A
B

is much more common. Having the option between the two, or having the script style associated with lute and classical guitar tabs and the new style associated with guitar and bass might be nice.

In fact, in traditional lute / viol tabulatures, I have never seen a TAB 'key' (well, it isn't a key, is it?). What else a tabulature can be other than a tabulature?

So, I would expect early music tabulature users (who would/could take advantage of the current calligraphic style of the 'key') would in most case simply set the TAB 'key' to invisible (at least, I would...)

Just my 2 cents...
