Marc has moved the tunings from scm/output-lib.scm to scm/tablature.scm
effective with 2.13.4. He's also added drop-d and open-g tunings, but open D is not there yet (except for the banjo). I'm sure that he'll be happy to
add any tunings that you think would be useful.
Yes, of course. I didn't use open tunings very often, but providing
useful definitions is easy. In 2.13.4, we have the following tunings defined:

(define-public guitar-tuning '(4 -1 -5 -10 -15 -20))
(define-public guitar-seven-string-tuning '(4 -1 -5 -10 -15 -20 -25))
(define-public guitar-drop-d-tuning '(4 -1 -5 -10 -15 -22))
(define-public guitar-open-g-tuning '(2 -1 -5 -10 -17 -22))
;; bass tunings
(define-public bass-tuning '(-17 -22 -27 -32))
(define-public bass-four-string-tuning '(-17 -22 -27 -32))
(define-public bass-drop-d-tuning '(-17 -22 -27 -34))
(define-public bass-five-string-tuning '(-17 -22 -27 -32 -37))
(define-public bass-six-string-tuning '(-12 -17 -22 -27 -32 -37))
;; mandolin
(define-public mandolin-tuning '(16 9 2 -5))
;; tunings for 5-string banjo
(define-public banjo-open-g-tuning '(2 -1 -5 -10 7))
(define-public banjo-c-tuning '(2 -1 -5 -12 7))
(define-public banjo-modal-tuning '(2 0 -5 -10 7))
(define-public banjo-open-d-tuning '(2 -3 -6 -10 9))
(define-public banjo-open-dm-tuning '(2 -3 -6 -10 9))

Please send the tunings you want to be included; I can
create a patch so that they will be included in the next release.

Marc

Great!
I would add these two tunings, which are pretty popular:

(define-public guitar-open-d-tuning '(2 -3 -6 -10 -15 -22))
(define-public guitar-dadgad-tuning '(2 -3 -7 -10 -15 -22))

There are many more (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_tunings),
but these are the most used..

Personally, I'm also interested in this tuning (just because one of my favorite guitarists uses it a lot):
Asus4: low-high; E-A-D-E-A-E


Maybe we could make a "survey" in the users' mailing list and see what people need..

Hope the building system will be fixed soon, I look forward to try the next version.
