Tabs are generally created in simple ASCII format which works great
for ASCII editors like Notebook.

However, in order to post Tabs properly on the Boards
a bit of formatting is required.

Post using New Courier Font or Code format and everything will line up.

Use 'Size=1' to make longer Tab fit.

Courier Font kearning, etc... matches up with ASCII.
Use it if your transferring Notebook created Tab to MSWord.

Examples:

Plain cut and Paste ASCII looks like this --
Kearning Shifts with Characters and Open Spacing (Notice the :Colons).

This example uses Font Size 1

|-7-5-4------------------------------------------|
|--------7-5-4-----------------------------------|
|--------------7-5-4-------------2-/7\--------0--|
|---------------------7-3\-0-/3----------3-------|
: : :
pull off.................: : :
: :
hammer on...................: :
:
slide up then down.................:

In Courier Font ACSII tab looks like this --
Proper Character Kearning but Kearning Shifts with Open Spacing.

This is usually the Standard way to Post tab
because most tab do not contain Open Spacing.




|-7-5-4------------------------------------------|
|--------7-5-4-----------------------------------|
|--------------7-5-4-------------2-/7\--------0--|
|---------------------7-3\-0-/3----------3-------|
: : :
pull off.................: : :
: :
hammer on...................: :
:
slide up then down.................:


Using CODE tags also align ASCII and other stuff.
This time Proper Character & Open Space Kearning.


Code:
|-7-5-4------------------------------------------|
|--------7-5-4-----------------------------------|
|--------------7-5-4-------------2-/7\--------0--|
|---------------------7-3\-0-/3----------3-------|
                         :  :      :
pull off.................:  :      :
                            :      :
hammer on...................:      :
                                   :
slide up then down.................:
Notice how Open Spaced :Colons are now properly justified and kearned.
