Frequently asked questions
Which instruments are supported?
6-string and 7-string guitar, 4-string and 5-string bass, ukulele, mandolin and 5-string banjo. The number of tab lines and the string names follow the instrument.
Which line is the lowest string?
As in all standard tab, the top line is the highest-pitched string and the bottom line the lowest. Turn on string names to print the open strings at the left of each line.
Can I write the tuning?
Yes. The title line has a tuning field for drop D, open G or any other tuning.
Do you have tab with standard notation?
Yes. The Tab + Staff template puts a notation staff above every tab line, and the Chord Chart template gives you blank chord boxes.
