[tablatures] string number in TabStaff: show or hide?

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lilynet.net/tablatures Archives ]


Hi,

I've done some small tests with 2.13.4 and it seems to work great.

I have question for Marc and for all the other tablature users.
I can see the default behaviour is still printing the string numbers in the TabStaff.

I think it's redundant (of course, because there is the tab which says which string I'm supposed to pick). Also it's noisy and it takes the space that should be available for left-hand/right-hand indications.

Marc, you seemed to agree with me.. (see message below)
What the other people think about it?

Should this (hide string number) be the default settings?

If we agree on this change, it could be added in the next soon-coming version.
Otherwise, I'll keep using my override ;-)
