There are so many tab file formats, especially for drums, how does TabTrax know how to interpret them all?
A.3) Lots of testing and lots of hard work. There are 3 major time formats used for tab files, I call them linear, meter and count. Linear is the simplest form, each tick represents an equal amount of time, either a 1/16th or a 1/32nd note. Meter and count formats use a time line to indicate the duration of each note. Meter and count formats are often used on more complex tabs, such as Rush, Led Zeppelin and Dream Theater songs, involving complex time signatures and triplets.
