Ok, I'm learning and get more happy with the results :)

Below this message there's my code. I've three questions about it.

1) Is is possible to have tablature without durations of the notes 
displayed in the tablature part? I also want to display  notes with a 
slur in the notation as one entry in the tablature (no slur, no entry 
for the second note (in the notation connected with a slur).

2) Where should I put /midi {} in the score to get a midi file?

3) Any suggestion to improve things or to learn me something are welcome ;)

Thanks in advance,
