[tablatures] ties and chords with notes of the same pitch

[Federico Bruni <brunology@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

this is just a nitpicking..
But I'd like to know if I'm missing something or not..

As you can see in the attached example, if in a chord there are two 
notes of the same pitch, then in the tied chord one of them will be 
displayed in the TabStaff.
I even tried a note-to-note tie, but it does not work.

The only workaround I found is removing one of the two notes in the 
tied chord.
Of course, a note head will be missing in the Staff, but TabStaff will 
be ok.

Is it right? Or there's a better solution?

Thanks for your feedback,

Federico
