Added Gary Coover-esque tablature generation option for C/G Anglo to my ABC Transcription Tools

[Michael Eskin]

I know some people are fond of the system, so along with the other Anglo tablature generation options, I've added a new option to my ABC Transcription Tools to generate Gary Coover-esque style tablature for C/G instruments.

Like my other Anglo tab options, it supports both Jeffries and Wheatstone styles and both on-row and cross-row fingering solutions.

As is the case with the other tablature options in my ABC Tools, the tablature is limited to single melody lines. Chords are not supported.
 

Here are a few examples:

That's cool.

 

Are the `<<`s in the left margins in the pdf meaningful?

I've scratched my head over them as well. I think they may have only appeared when I've increased the staff spacing.

They provide a link back to the Tune book Table of Contents.

 

Look at the section "Adding a PDF Tunebook Table of Contents and Index" in the User Guide to see how to do this...

It's specifically because you have a Table of Contents and/or an Index link back annotation most likely at the top of the ABC for the tunebook in the PDF settings block:

%addtoc Table of Contents
%addlinkbacktotoc
%addsortedindex Index
%addlinkbacktoindex
