+ \section{Introduction}
+
+ Many guitarists in the world use instead of music sheets guitar tabs, which is a more convenient
+ way of learning songs. Music sheets show how a melody goes: the notes, tonality, mode, time signatures etc.
+ Unfortunately, a guitar has one same note on different strings several times and the position of the left
+ hand plays its role. So, the guitar tabs were created where a different notation is used. Every line of a
+ guitar tab shows a separate string. A number on a string shows which fret should be played on which moment.
+ Of course, the a time signature is still written on the beginning of the tab and vertical lines separate
+ a tab onto bars, just like on a music sheet. There are also tuning settings written for each string.
+
+ This project describes a set of \LaTeX\space macros that allow a user to write such guitar tabs.
+
+ \begin{tabline}{3}{6}{8}{E,A,D,G,B,E}
+ \notel{1}{6}{6}{0}{8}
+ \notel{2}{6}{3}{0}{8}
+ \notel{3}{6}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{4}{6}{1}{0}{8}
+ \notel{5}{6}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{6}{6}{3}{0}{8}
+
+ \nextbar
+ \notel{1}{12}{6}{0}{8}
+ \notel{3}{12}{3}{0}{8}
+ \notel{5}{12}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{7}{12}{1}{0}{8}
+ \notel{9}{12}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{11}{12}{6}{3}{16}

+ \notel{11}{12}{2}{0}{16}
+ \notel{12}{12}{3}{0}{16}
+ \end{tabline}
+
+ \section{Quick start}
+ \subsection{Generating header}
+
+ A new class called \textbf{\textit{guitartabs.cls}} was created, so, for using this class a command
+ \begin{lstlisting}
+\documentclass{guitartabs}
+ \end{lstlisting}
+ should be used on the beginning of a document.
+
+ Every guitar tab has a title of a song, an album and a composer (resp. band) name. Before starting a
+ document one can use a set of macros to define these.
+ \begin{lstlisting}[firstnumber=2]
+\artistname{Metallica}
+\albumtitle{Metallica}
+\songname{Nothing Else Matters}
+ \end{lstlisting}
+
+ To start writing a document one should begin with:
+ \begin{lstlisting}[firstnumber=5]
+\begin{document}
+ \maketabheader % print the header
+
+ The code goes here...
+\end{document}
+ \end{lstlisting}
+ As you can see, the \lstinline{\maketabheader} is used to print a header of the document.
+
+ \pagebreak
+ \subsection{List of available commands}
+
+ So, now we are ready to make some \LaTeX\ music! First of all, let me introduce a set of all available commands:
+ \vspace{0.5cm}
+
+ \begin{tabular}{ | p{4cm} | p{5cm} | p{7cm} | }
+ \hline
+ \textbf{Command}
+ & \textbf{Description}
+ & \textbf{Arguments}
+ \\ \hline
+ \textbackslash artistname\{name\}
+ & Sets an artist name who wrote or performed a composition.
+ & \textit{name} - an artist name.

+ & \textit{title} - an album title
+ \\ \hline
+ \textbackslash songname\{name\}

+ & \textit{name} - a song name.
+ \\ \hline
+ \parbox[t]{4cm}{
+ \textbackslash begin\{tabline\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{bars\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{tsupper\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{tslower\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{tuning\}
+ }
+ & Opens the environment and make \LaTeX\ ready for drawing tabs.
+ & \parbox[t]{7cm}{
+ \textit{bars} - a number of bars on a tab line.
+ \\ \textit{tsupper} - upper time signature number.
+ \\ \textit{tslower} - lower time signature number.
+ \\ \textit{tuning} - a guitar tuning, starting from the 6th string.
+ \\ E.g. E,A,D,G,B,E
+ }
+ \\ \hline
+ \textbackslash maketabheader
+ & Prints a header.
+ &
+ \\ \hline
+ \parbox[t]{4cm}{
+ \textbackslash note\{numerator\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{denominator\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{string\}

+ }
+ & Draws one note.
+ & \parbox[t]{7cm}{
+ \textit{string} - a string.
+ \\ \textit{fret} - a fret.
+ \\ \textit{numerator}
+ \\ \textit{denominator} - sets the position of a note relatively to the beginning of a bar.
+ E.g. values \{1\}\{2\} or \{8\}\{16\} print a note at the center of the bar.
+ }
+ \\ \hline
+ \parbox[t]{4cm}{
+ \textbackslash notel\{numerator\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{denominator\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{string\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{fret\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{length\}
+ }
+ & Draws one note with a note length beneath a tab line.
+ & \parbox[t]{7cm}{
+ \textit{string} - a string.
+ \\ \textit{fret} - a fret.
+ \\ \textit{numerator}
+ \\ \textit{denominator} - sets the position of a note relatively to the beginning of a bar.
+ E.g. values \{1\}\{2\} or \{8\}\{16\} print a note at the center of the bar.
+ \\ \textit{length} - 1 for a whole note, 2 for a half note etc.
+ \\ Available values for length are:
+ \\ 1, 2, 2.5, 4, 4.5, 8, 8.5, 16, 16.5
+ }
+ \\ \hline
+ \parbox[t]{4cm}{
+ \textbackslash restwhole
+ \\ \textbackslash resthalf
+ \\ \textbackslash restquarter
+ \\ \textbackslash resteighth
+ \\ \textbackslash restsixteenth
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{numerator\}
+ \\ \hspace*{1cm}\{denominator\}
+ }
+ & A set of functions that draw rest symbols (whole, half, quarter, eighth, sixteenth, eighth respectively) on a selected position.
+ & \parbox[t]{7cm}{
+ \textit{numerator}
+ \\ \textit{denominator} - sets the position of a rest relatively to the beginning of a bar.
+ E.g. values \{1\}\{2\} or \{8\}\{16\} print a rest at the center of the bar.
+ }
+ \\ \hline
+ \textbackslash end\{tabline\}
+ & Closes the environment and draws a tab line.
+ &
+ \\ \hline
+ \textbackslash nextbar
+ & Moves a position of the cursor to the next bar.
+ &
+ \\ \hline
+ \end{tabular}
+
+ \vspace{0.5cm}
+ The way how the position of a note is set was chosen with a reason. Sometimes some notes are played
+ out of the rhythm of a song. For example:
+
+ \begin{tabline}{1}{4}{4}{E,A,D,G,B,E}
+ \notel{1}{2}{3}{12}{2}
+ \notel{2}{2}{3}{12}{2}
+ \notel{3}{4}{4}{12}{8}
+ \end{tabline}
+
+ So, here we have 3 notes, two of them fill the bar rhythmically but we have the 3rd note, 1/8, that goes before the second 1/2. So, such approach of setting the exact position of each note offers great flexibility.
+
+ \pagebreak
+ \subsection{Example}
+
+ So, let's have a look on the example from the introduction section:
+
+ \begin{tabline}{3}{6}{8}{E,A,D,G,B,E}
+
+ \notel{1}{6}{6}{0}{8}
+ \notel{2}{6}{3}{0}{8}
+ \notel{3}{6}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{4}{6}{1}{0}{8}
+ \notel{5}{6}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{6}{6}{3}{0}{8}
+
+ \nextbar
+ \notel{1}{12}{6}{0}{8}
+ \notel{3}{12}{3}{0}{8}
+ \notel{5}{12}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{7}{12}{1}{0}{8}
+ \notel{9}{12}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{11}{12}{6}{3}{16}
+ \notel{12}{12}{6}{2}{16}
+
+ \nextbar
+ \notel{1}{12}{6}{0}{8}
+ \notel{3}{12}{3}{0}{8}
+ \notel{5}{12}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{7}{12}{1}{3}{8}
+ \notel{9}{12}{3}{0}{16}
+ \notel{10}{12}{1}{0}{16}
+ \notel{11}{12}{2}{0}{16}
+ \notel{12}{12}{3}{0}{16}
+ \end{tabline}
+
+ Of course, the best way to learn something is to look at the code. Here is comes:
+
+ \begin{lstlisting}[firstnumber=1]
+ % we create a tab with 3 bars, with the time signature 6/8 and a standart guitar tuning (E, A, D, G, B, E)
+ \begin{tabline}{3}{6}{8}{E,A,D,G,B,E}
+
+ \notel{1}{6}{6}{0}{8} % 1st bar, position 1/6, 6th string, 0th fret, length 1/8
+ \notel{2}{6}{3}{0}{8} % 1st bar, position 2/6, 3rd string, 0th fret, length 1/8
+ \notel{3}{6}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{4}{6}{1}{0}{8}
+ \notel{5}{6}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{6}{6}{3}{0}{8}
+
+ \nextbar % move the cursor to the next bar
+ \notel{1}{12}{6}{0}{8}
+ \notel{3}{12}{3}{0}{8}
+ \notel{5}{12}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{7}{12}{1}{0}{8}
+ \notel{9}{12}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{11}{12}{6}{3}{16} % 2nd bar, position 11/12, 6th string, 3rd fret, length 1/16
+ \notel{12}{12}{6}{2}{16}
+
+ \nextbar
+ \notel{1}{12}{6}{0}{8}
+ \notel{3}{12}{3}{0}{8}
+ \notel{5}{12}{2}{0}{8}
+ \notel{7}{12}{1}{3}{8}
+ \notel{9}{12}{3}{0}{16}
+ \notel{10}{12}{1}{0}{16}
+ \notel{11}{12}{2}{0}{16}
+ \notel{12}{12}{3}{0}{16}
+
+\end{tabline}
+ \end{lstlisting}
+
+ It is that simple. Of course, the position on the bar determines the length of each note, so, if
+ one does not need the length to be drawn, one can omit the last argument and use \lstinline{\note}
+ instead of \lstinline{\notel}. Everything else stays the same.
+
+ \begin{lstlisting}[firstnumber=1]
+\begin{tabline}{3}{6}{8}{E,A,D,G,B,E}
+ \note{1}{6}{6}{0} % we use \note instead of \notel and omit the last argument
+ \note{2}{6}{3}{0}
+ \note{3}{6}{2}{0}
+ \note{4}{6}{1}{0}
+ \note{5}{6}{2}{0}
+ \note{6}{6}{3}{0}
+
+ \nextbar
+ \note{1}{12}{6}{0}
+ \note{3}{12}{3}{0}
+ \note{5}{12}{2}{0}
+ \note{7}{12}{1}{0}
+ \note{9}{12}{2}{0}
+ \note{11}{12}{6}{3}
+ \note{12}{12}{6}{2}
+
+ \nextbar
+ \note{1}{12}{6}{0}
+ \note{3}{12}{3}{0}
+ \note{5}{12}{2}{0}
+ \note{7}{12}{1}{3}
+ \note{9}{12}{3}{0}
+ \note{10}{12}{1}{0}
+ \note{11}{12}{2}{0}
+ \note{12}{12}{3}{0}
+
+\end{tabline}
+ \end{lstlisting}
+
+ This code results in this tab line:
+
+ \begin{tabline}{3}{6}{8}{E,A,D,G,B,E}
+
+ \note{1}{6}{6}{0}
+ \note{2}{6}{3}{0}
+ \note{3}{6}{2}{0}
+ \note{4}{6}{1}{0}
+ \note{5}{6}{2}{0}
+ \note{6}{6}{3}{0}
+
+ \nextbar
+ \note{1}{12}{6}{0}
+ \note{3}{12}{3}{0}
+ \note{5}{12}{2}{0}
+ \note{7}{12}{1}{0}
+ \note{9}{12}{2}{0}
+ \note{11}{12}{6}{3}
+ \note{12}{12}{6}{2}
+
+ \nextbar
+ \note{1}{12}{6}{0}
+ \note{3}{12}{3}{0}
+ \note{5}{12}{2}{0}
+ \note{7}{12}{1}{3}
+ \note{9}{12}{3}{0}
+ \note{10}{12}{1}{0}
+ \note{11}{12}{2}{0}
+ \note{12}{12}{3}{0}
+
+ \end{tabline}
+
+ One may notice that there are no small drawn anymore underneath every note.
+
+ \pagebreak
+
+ \section{Conclusion}
+
+ The goal of this work was to create flexible and simple enough system to draw guitar tabs. In my opinion, this goal was reached. The \textbf{guitartabs} class offers a simple interface for drawing such tabs, so, a user
+ is only responsible for writing music and the class will make everything else including drawing, calculating
+ positions on the bar, setting correct size etc.
