So the question is, how do you go from this guitar tab (tablature) notation like this:
From: e83lp@tde.lth.se (Lars Persson)
title = Malaguena (Spanish Style)
arranger = arranged by Lars Persson
e83lp@tde.lth.se

to this: Typeset Malaguena (Spanish Style)
My answer is tab2lily.pl This program when given the above as input, produces the following LilyPond program as output:
\header{
title = " Malaguena (Spanish Style)"
arranger = " arranged by Lars Persson"
}
keyboard = \new Staff {
