Posting TAB using the [tab] BBCode

[Arcada]

At Basil's request I've added a tab BBCode which displays any content within it to be displayed in a fixed-width (monotype) style.

Example usage: -

Code:

[tab]1.________|____________|_____________|______________|_____________|
2.________|____________|_____________|______________|_____________|
3.___1~~2_|_3~~~1______|_8~8b__8~~3~~|~3b___________|_____________|
4.________|____________|_____________|______3~~___3~|~~~_3~~~____7|
5.___1~~2_|_3~~~1__8~~_|_8~8a__8~~4a~|~3a___________|_____________|
6.________|________8~8b|_____________|______3~3b__3~|~3b_3~3b_____|
7.________|____________|_____________|______________|_____________|
8.________|____________|_____________|______________|_____________|
9.________|____________|_____________|______________|_____________|
10________|____________|_____________|______3~3a__3~|~3a_3~3a_____|[/tab]

Displays: -

TAB: SELECT ALL
1.________|____________|_____________|______________|_____________|
2.________|____________|_____________|______________|_____________|
3.___1~~2_|_3~~~1______|_8~8b__8~~3~~|~3b___________|_____________|

Very nice. It should also work well for copedent charts.

Hi Guys , just a thought, this style of tab does not give any timing information.
Would it be an idea to add a timing No under or above the tab.
i.e. 1 = whole note, 2 = half note, 4 =Quarter note, 8= Eighth note, etc..
Just a thought, might as well put it out there.
