[mei-tablature-ig] IMS Study Group 'Tablature in Western Music' meeting at Basel Lute Days, September 14

[Luke Emmet]

Hi Tim

Many thanks for sharing your presentation. I had heard a rumour about 
the John Robinson archive, but had not seen it yet - what a resource indeed!

Good to see luteconv is getting some practical use. I'm also trying to 
integrate it into my open source LuteScribe editor to enable it to 
import/export in an even wider variety of formats, so hopefully it will 
thereby be able to view MEI (and other formats) soon.

I noticed a remark you made about TAB not supporting tunings (assuming I 
have interpreted correctly). As far as I am aware it does, but this 
feature is only required if you want to specify a non-standard tuning 
and also want to output mensural notation or midi. I include below a 
snippet from the TAB readme. Whether users have made much use of this is 
a seperate matter, as probably most users of TAB just wish to generate a 
digital engraving. But there is an implicit default if the tuning is not 
given (10c renaissance lute)

I heard from Paul Overell that John Robinson uses his own convention to 
denote tuning and that luteconv tries to parse these.

Best Wishes

  - Luke

	-tuning e4a3d3f+3b2e2		for guitar
	-tuning a4b-4c4d4e4f4g4a3d3f3a2d2f2 	is d minor
	-tuning c4d4e4f+4g4a3d3g3b2d2f+2 is sharp
	-tuning c4d4e-4f4g4a3d3g3a+2d2f2 is flat
         Note that the lowest note tab knows about is a4, and
         each octave starts at a, as in a4-g4a3-g3a2-g2
