Remarks

The @tab.course, @tab.fret and @finger attributes are provided in order to create displayable chord tablature grids. The @inth (harmonic interval) attribute may be used to facilitate automated performance of a chord. It gives the number of diatonic steps above the bass. Of course, for the bass note itself, @inth should be set to P1.

Constraints

When the @tab.fret attribute indicates an open or omitted string (has the value "0" or "omit"), the @finger attribute must not be used.
