Chord constructs can be repeated by the chord repetition symbol
-@code{q}. To use this feature in combination with tablature,
-@code{\tabChordRepetition} is provided. It preserves the string
-information explicitly given within chord constructs so repeated chords
-get identical tablature representations.
+@code{q}. In combination with tabulatures, its behavior of removing
+string and finger numbers alongside with other events is cumbersome, so
+you'll want to run

+explicitly on music expressions in tabulature using @ref{Chord
+repetition}. This particular command is so common that it is available

-Note that the command @code{\harmonic} must always be defined
-inside a chord construct. It only makes sense for open-string harmonics
+Note that the command @code{\harmonic} must always be attached to single
+notes (possibly inside of a chord) instead of whole chords.
+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.

Chords are not handled in a special way, and hence the automatic
string selector may easily select the same string for two notes in
a chord.
Guitar special effects are limited to harmonics and slides.

LilyPond tablature automatically calculates the fret for
a note based on the string to which the note is assigned.
@code{banjo-open-g-tuning}. The predefined string tunings
are found in @file{ly/string-tuning-init.ly}.

@cindex custom string tunings
Any desired string tuning can be created. The
-@code{\contextStringTuning} function can be
-used to define a string tuning and set it as the
-@code{stringTunings} for the current context.
-@code{\contextStringTuning} takes two arguments: the
-symbol in which the string tuning will be stored,
-and a chord construct
-that defines the pitches of each string in the tuning.
+@code{\stringTuning} function can be
+used to define a string tuning which can be used
+to set @code{stringTunings} for the current context.
+
+Its argument is a chord construct
+defining the pitches of each string in the tuning.
The chord construct must be in absolute octave mode,
see @ref{Absolute octave entry}. The string
with the highest number (generally the lowest string) must

The @code{stringTunings} property is also used by
@code{FretBoards} to calculate automatic fret diagrams.

-@funindex \makeStringTuning
-
String tunings are used as part of the hash key
for predefined fret diagrams
-(see @ref{Predefined fret diagrams}). The @code{\makeStringTuning}
-function is used to create a string tuning without setting the
-@code{stringTunings} property in the current context. The
-arguments to @code{\makeStringTuning} are the symbol to be
-used for the new string tuning and a chord construct used
-to define the tuning.
+(see @ref{Predefined fret diagrams}).

The previous example could also be written as follows:
@lilypond[quote,verbatim]

+"custom-tuning" = \stringTuning <c' g' d'' a''>
mynotes = {

object. Pitch objects are created with the Scheme function
@code{ly:make-pitch} (see @ref{Scheme functions}).
-If desired, a string tuning can be created as a Scheme
-literal. The example below recreates the examples above,
-but the string tuning is not saved as a separate object:
-
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
-mynotes = {
- c'4 e' g' c'' |
- e''4 g'' b'' c'''

- ,(ly:make-pitch 0 0 0))
- \mynotes

-@end lilypond
+@code{\stringTuning} creates such an object from chord input.
LilyPond automatically calculates the number of lines in the
@code{TabStaff} and the number of strings in an automatically
calculated @code{FretBoard} as the number of elements
in @code{stringTunings}.
+To let all TabStaff contexts use the same custom tuning by default,
+you can use
