okay bestie, so this is eTktab, a Tk based ascii guitar tab editor, and honestly? she's iconic. here's everything you need to know, no gatekeeping 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

eTktab — a Tk based ascii guitar tab editor 🎸

🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

eTktab <filename>

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one argument, filename, and you're off 🦋

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, this program is literally for writing out guitar tablature in the classic ASCII tab style — you know the one, the format you see all over the internet, the one that's giving "I learned this riff from a forum post in 2007" 💀

the code is based on TkTab by Giovanni Chierico, and a bunch of the ideas for the alterations you see in here came from the EMACS tablature mode by Mark R. Rubin. so it's standing on the shoulders of some real ones, fr fr 👑

🫶 AUTHORS 🫶

• eTktab was developed by Jason Sonnenschein <jes_jm@yahoo.com> ✨
