Tablature shortcuts: corrections
Some corrections for the Tablature section of Default keyboard shortcuts page
- "Shift+99" should be "Shift+9".
- "Enter TAB: fret" entry (numbers) only goes up to 9. Should indicate that all fret numbrs are possible.
- The "Enter TAB: fret" entry for the letters A-K should read "Enter TAB: fret (0-9)".

Just fix it

Agreed for this. But in general, that section is automatically generated via a spreadsheet and scripts of mine, so I also need to fix it in the source. Which I will :-)
I don't know a good way to indicate this using this simple chart form. Of course, it's covered in more detail in the corresponding section of the Handbook. I'd rather than clutter the chart unnecessarily. But if you can think of a good syntax, let me know. As it is, I'm using the same syntax as for standard note input: a generic "Enter note" (listing A-G) and "Enter TAB: fret" (listing 0-9), which seems clear enough for a simple chart like this.

An idea:
Enter TAB fret (using numbers) | 0 – Max. fret number
Enter TAB fret (using letters) | A – H (= 0–7) and J (= 9)

Still seems like overkill for a simple reference chart - that's the sort of info I expect to find in the full Handbook page.

How about:
Enter fretmark number | 0 – max. fret number
Enter fretmark letter | A – K (omit I)

I don't know, it still feels like more detail than is needed. We're not trying to document everything about the behavior, just provided a quick reminder of the keys - and the keys are 0-9. It's expected you already know what the command is and how it works. Frankly, I could just as well delete these lines, as there is not going to be anyone who needs help remembering what the shortcut for "enter fret 6" is.
Same typo (1-99) in the Tablature section of All keyboard shortcuts.

Yes, thanks, the same spreadsheet generates both, so I've fixed it at the source. Meanwhile, feel free to fix this directly.
