[tablatures] Re: Errors in Documentation/snippets

[Carl Sorensen <c_sorensen@xxxxxxx>]

Dear tablature users,

Here's the chance for you to step up and help LilyPond.

Marc has added substantially to the tablature support for LilyPond.  Now we
need to have the documentation added.

I'm hoping we can get one of the tablature users to take care of the
documentation.  I'll be happy to provide the support needed to make this
happen.

It would be great if it could be done this week, because 2.13.5 is coming
out soon.

Please let me know if you're willing to tackle this.

Thanks,

Carl
