Marc,

If you get the most recent patch from Rietveld, and look at line 276 of
scm/tablatures.scm, you'll see the constant that adjusts things -- the 2/3.

Would you please test this with multiple values of that constant, and come
up with a value that you like?

I think a value of 1/2 would give the behavior you described above.

I'd like your opinion on what would be a preferred value.

Once you have a good value, I think I'll modify the patch so that constant
is part of the TabNoteHead 'details, which will give the user control over
it.

Thanks,

Carl
