Hey, Mr A - how do you get your tab to line up? I did it once, but I had to use hyphens to indicate rests.

Mr Gobar - are those bass drum notes "and-uh" or "uh-two?"

Thanks - I think I tried to just set it in Courier:

(pre)

cm: o
hh: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
sd:     s       s   
bd: k         k     

(font=Courier)
cm: o
hh: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
sd:     s       s  
bd: k         k    

That's like a Samba train!

That's cause it's building steam, leaving the station.
Not your typical train beat...
 

If you use the Teletype function, see the button when you post, it will place these tags around your tab and make it line-up properly. It's so small, you'll need to increase the size a bit, as Mr. A suggested.

Example:

would look like this when posted:
R L R L

This is what I use, and increase the font size to 3, which would look like this:
R L R L

Or increase to 4:
R L R L

Anyway, it all lines up now as you add various lines in your tab notation. You can also use bold, italic, and colors as needed.

I agree gobarr!  I like to play 2 bars of train beat--2 bars of fill (keeping the feet going of course), or 4 and 4.  Whatever.
