% Status: RO

% Sorry for the problem you have with my file. I was not aware of that problem. I should have to check the number of characters per line. I donot know what to do with the tab_shifts. I am afraid I cannot do that today.
% 
% In the mean time I prepared a tab_demo file you find hereafter in this message. It is just an illustration of many but not all features of tab following 'my_tab_manual'. (I do not know what my mail-processor will have done with the tab_shifts, sorry)
% By the way i came to two new problems :
% - the demo file produces the right output but with an error message 'value not found', related to the use of 'Z' time in the last system.
% - the right hand fingerings are printed above the notes and not below, as I expected ...
