Feature Request: allow for 5-string banjo tablature

Open jeremy9959 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Tablature for the five string banjo is written with the high drone string at the bottom, followed in ascending order by the strings in low-to-high order. For example, for standard open G tuning, the notes are gDGBd. This is incompatible with the abcjs tab rule for tunings that requires the strings in order of pitch.

Being able to produce banjo tab would be great!

I'd be willing to at least look at the tablature code to see what's involved, but I would need a pointer as to where to look.

Yes! This is definitely been gnawing at me. I will look at this sometime this weekend and give you a recommendation.
