How it's generated

    Usage tips

    Print at 100% (actual size). Turn on the 50 mm calibration box to verify scaling.

    Switch string counts and tunings with presets. Fine-tune spacing and insets for extra room.

    Set wider intervals for bar/beat guides so the sheet stays easy to read.

    FAQ

    How should I print the generated TAB sheets?

    Use Print / Save PDF, set scaling to 100%, and keep margins minimal so the millimeter scale stays accurate.

    What line spacing should I use?

    Guitar works well around 3.2 mm and bass around 3.6 mm. Use wider spacing if you need more writing room.

    Can I change string labels and tunings?

    Switch between letters/numbers or enter custom values to change what appears on the sheet.
