Re: Polyphonic Tablature

[Daniel Tonda]

Just revised the code I proposed and you're right. I wasn't aware that by using << >> one could remove the \simultaneous. Less typing indeed.

Are you sure? I just tried the example from the referenced post,
changed version number from "2.6.0" and ran it through a recent
2.9.x version, and it certainly gives me a single tab staff here.

Daniel's follow-up does exactly the same thing, but using more
key strokes (the "\simultaneous" are redundant, for example).
