Guitar tablature uses six horizontal lines, one per string, instead of standard musical notation — fret numbers written directly on each line tell you where to place your fingers, which makes tab paper the go-to format for guitarists transcribing songs, writing out chord voicings, or sketching riffs without needing to read standard notation.
Set the string spacing (the gap between the six lines) in real millimeters, and the tool fits as many complete systems as your page allows, each with barlines marking its start and end — enough room between systems to write fret numbers, chord names, and lyrics clearly. Choose US Letter or A4 and adjust line weight to whatever's comfortable to write over.
Yes — six lines, one per string. A four-line bass tab variant isn't available yet, but is a reasonable addition if there's demand for it.
2.5mm is a comfortable default for handwritten fret numbers. Widen it if you write large numbers or want more room for techniques like bends and slides notated above the line.
The six lines work for standard tablature (fret numbers) as well as freehand chord charts or diagrams — the paper doesn't constrain what you write on it.
Not in this version — it's tab lines only, without a paired notation staff above each system.
