Is tablature stable now?

There have been improvements recently:

1) This issue (#15191: Tablature doesn't like unisons and/or large spans between frets) triggered the correction of a couple of bugs. This should prevent strange changes in notes already there while adding new notes or changing existing notes.

2) String tuning data are no longer forced to be in pitch order to accommodate instruments like the banjo or the theorbo.

3) The tablature staff type properties dlg box has been re-designed and a preview has been added.

Testing in these areas is definitely welcome. I can't say if it stable or not; at least it should have less oddities!

Other areas have not been changed, but some changes are planned and will be implemented in the next weeks. In particular:

A) Better font management in properties dlg box, with more meaningful names.

B) Another 'modern' style with duration stems and beams underneath the staff (rather than above like now) is planned.

C) Support for non-fretted (or differently fretted) strings, as in additional lute courses and their representations in tablatures (as in '//a' symbols of French tabulature).

D) adding a keyboard-only input for tablatures (the current mouse+kbd way IS cumbersome). However, this requires some structural re-factoring in the way keystrokes are managed, which is planned but not implemented yet.

I know these areas are incomplete or hard to use; noneless, any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks,
