3.12.2 Non-guitar tablatures

You can change the number of strings, by setting the number of lines in the TabStaff.

You can change the tuning of the strings. A string tuning is given as a Scheme list with one integer number for each string, the number being the pitch (measured in semitones relative to middle C) of an open string. The numbers specified for stringTuning are the numbers of semitones to subtract or add, starting the specified pitch by default middle C, in string order. Thus, the notes are e, a, d, and g

       \context TabStaff <<
         \set TabStaff.stringTunings = #'(-5 -10 -15 -20)
     
         \notes {
           a,4 c' a e' e c' a e'
         }
