: I recently downloaded a tab for Jaco Pastorius - Portrait Of Tracy, I don't know if you know it but that's irrelevent :) Along the top of the "strings" there's a list of letters that i don't understand, i can't work out what relevance they have to the peice and was wondering if it was something which occurs in tabs created by this program. the link to the tab is below, any help whatsoever would be great, emails preferrably since I'll probably lose this URL:). thanks

: (PS it's the line that starts:

: e s s s s s s s s s s Q Q h+e s s
: +-----5-3+-----------------+-----+------------+
: |6:-R-----4---5-3+---------|-----|------------|
: |8:---------3+----4---5-3+-|-----|------0*-2*-|
: +-------------------3+-----+-4-7-+-12---------+

: that top line of letters)
