A patch is almost ready.

The matter is not with the old format (1.2) but with the range: the notes in this scores are very high (in fact, all except the first belong to the same first string) and the fretting algorithm can't cope with it. This is not an excuse for crashing, of course, and I'm fixing it.

However, automatic TABbing of such a score will always give unsatisfactory results as the range is not suited to the instrument.
