On a tablature, allow the user to set the orientation of rhythm bars.
Either we can set the rythm bars at the top of the tablature staff or we can set the rythm at the bottom of the tablature staff
For example
| |
--1----2----- --1----2-----
-------------- --------------
-------------- or --------------
-------------- --------------
-------------- --------------
-------------- --------------

Thanks for the suggestion. How important do you think this point is?

I am asking because all other kinds of tablature value marks are displayed above the staff, while below the staff some space will be reserved for non-fretted-string notes (for the lute and similar instruments). So, accommodating for both possibilities may be less trivial to implement than one could imagine (but, of course, not impossible).

Thanks,

M.

Hello,

Here is a link to a score which print the tablature part with value mark below the staff.
In the first part of the score, there is a score without tablature.
In the second part, this is the score + tablature part (it begins at page 4).
