VexTab (guitar tab)

Writes and renders guitar/bass tablature together with standard music notation.

Syntax​

```vextab
tabstave notation=true key=C time=4/4
notes :q 4/4 5/3 6/3 |
```

The tabstave line defines the general settings (whether notation display is on, the key, the time signature); the values on the notes line encode the fret/string numbers and note durations.
