Attributes
tab.align, tab.course, tab.fing, tab.fret, tab.line, tab.string
tab.align(optional)Attribute that describes the vertical alignment of tablature symbols. Only applicable in cases where the symbols' vertical position does not communicate other information, such as courses (i.e., only in German lute tablature). Typical values are top and bottom. Value conforms to data.VERTICALALIGNMENT.
<att.stringtab>direct children@tab.align
tab.course(optional)Records which course is to be played. Value conforms to data.COURSENUMBER.
<att.stringtab>direct children@tab.course
tab.fing(optional)This attribute is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Indicates which finger, if any, should be used to play an individual string. The index, middle, ring, and little fingers are represented by the values 1-4, while t is for the thumb. The values x and o indicate muffled and open strings, respectively. Value conforms to data.FINGER.FRET.
<att.stringtab>direct children@tab.fing
tab.fret(optional)Records the location at which a string should be stopped against a fret. Value conforms to data.FRETNUMBER.
<att.stringtab>direct children@tab.fret
tab.line(optional)Used in German lute tablature in cases where vertical positioning deviates from the norm which can be specified by tab.align. Indicates the position of the note on one of the horizontal strands corresponding to the lines attribute on staffDef. (Note that in this case, the lines are conceptual rather than visible). Value conforms to data.CLEFLINE.
