Tablature Support #2

Do you have plans to add tablature support to subito?

Tablature is on the imaginative roadmap, but I'm afraid it's far down the road as per now. The main focus of Subito is to make a performant and (somewhat) beautiful sheet engraver. But tablatures are developing and most guitarist don't read sheets thus the need for tablatures. So: I plan to support tablatures, but it ranks lower than more pressing problems (rendering several staffs, better automatic spacing, rendering rules etc.).

It seems to me, however, that tablatures wouldn't be that hard to implement, so anyone who feels ready to take a stab at it, is free to do so, and I might even do so when I get too frustrated with the sheet code :)
