Re: Slur or beam in tablature

[Hans]

Thank you! So that's how it works! It finally makes sense :-) .....And 
not, because if the TabStaff uses explicit voices, then why the Staff not?

BTW, I think I will not use melody={} and bass={} because the staff and 
tab differ in some ways, like e.g. beams. Copy and paste will make the 
file larger, but the result will be closer to what I want.

BTW2, is it possible to use  \markup to put an H or P (hammer on, pull 
off) indication above the slur, or shouldn't I even bother experimenting 
like that?

Thank you again for clearing up these structure problems I had. You made 
my day.
