Re: Polyphonic Tablature

[Daniel Tonda Castillo]

Hi:

When dealing with Tablatures, I usually separate the voices right from 
the start, to avoid double work.
For each voice  create a voice context. The equivalent in TabStaff is 
TabVoice.  This I think will work in 2.6.3.

I do it this way because as you say: << { .... } // { ... } >> doesn't 
work in TabStaff context. Maybe it does now, but I got used to doing it 
this way...

Here's what I did with the png that you use as reference.

%% BEGIN

\version "2.9.19"

VoiceANotes = \relative {
 \voiceOne
 fis8 a, d fis e fis, ais <cis e>
}
VoiceBNotes = \relative {
 \voiceTwo
 d,2 cis
}

Notation = \simultaneous { %% Combine both parts for notation
 \time 4/4
 \clef "G_8"
 \key d \major
 << \context Voice=VoiceA \VoiceANotes >>
 << \context Voice=VoiceB \VoiceBNotes >>
}

Tablature = \simultaneous { %% Combine both parts for Tablature
 \time 4/4
 \override TabStaff.Stem #'transparent = ##t %% Makes stems transparent
 \override TabStaff.Beam #'transparent = ##t %% Makes beams transparent
 << \context TabVoice=TabVoiceA \VoiceANotes >>
 << \context TabVoice=TabVoiceB \VoiceBNotes >>
}

\score {
 \context StaffGroup {
   \simultaneous {
     << \context Staff=FullNotation \Notation >>
     << \context TabStaff=FullTab \Tablature >>
   }
 }
}

%% END
