{allowing-fingerings-to-be-printed-inside-the-staff.ly}
Music for plucked string instruments is frequently notated using a
finger/touch notation or tablature. In contrast to traditional
notation pitches are not denoted with note heads, but by numbers (or
-letter-like symbols in historical intavolatura). The numbers
-indicate on which string and fret a note must be played. The numbers
-are printed on top of each other if they are to be played
-simultaneously.
-
-By default, string 1 is the highest, and the tuning defaults to the
+letter-like symbols in historical intavolatura). The staff lines
+in tablature indicate the string on which the note is to be played,
+and a number placed on a staff line indicated the fret at which
+the corresponding string is to be pressed.
+Notes that are to be played simultaneously are vertically aligned.
+
+By default, string 1 is the highest string, and corresponds to the top
+line on the @code{TabStaff}. The tuning of the @code{TabStaff}
+strings defaults to the
standard guitar tuning (with 6 strings). The notes are printed as
tablature, by using @code{TabStaff} and @code{TabVoice} contexts. A
calligraphic tablature clef is added automatically.

-Harmonic indications and slides can be added to tablature
-notation.
+Note that the command @code{\harmonic} must always be defined
+inside a chord construct. It only makes sense for open-string harmonics
+in the 12th fret. All other harmonics should be calculated by LilyPond.
+This can be achieved by indicating the fret where a finger of the
+fretting hand should touch a string.
