TabMaker #
This little script turns tabs that I can understand into markdown.
Creating Tabs #
To create a tab, place the chord name inside brackets before the word (or part of the word) which should sound that chord.
Example #
See this example, taken from the included faithful.in file:
[G]O come, all ye [Am]faith[D]ful,
[G]Joy[D]ful [G]and [C]tri[G]um[D]phant
O [Em]come [D]ye, o [Bm]come [F#m]ye to [D]B[A7]ethle[D]hem

O [Bm]come [Am]and [G]be[Am]hold [G]Him, [D]born the [Em]King of [D]Angels
O [G]come, let us adore Him
[G]O come, let us adore Him
[G]O [C]come, [G]let [D]us [Em]a[Bm]dore [C]Him
[G]Chr[D]ist the [G]Lord
