Re: [Bluemusic-users] length of a tab

[Jan J. H. <jj...@so...>]

Dear Steven,

thanks a lot, your information has been very useful. I found out that  
the length of a tab is 8 spaces in blue. I guess it is useful to  
detab the code before exporting/sharing, however I'd prefer to be  
able to work with tabs in general instead of spaces because they  
behave slightly differently in terms of alignment. I was able to re- 
format my code nicely and put lots of comments into it. Soon it will  
be ready to share.

All the best,

Jan Jacob
