This is done intentionally to distinguish half notes from quarter notes.I’m curious about these double stems. Does anyone know if they are a common/standard way to indicate half notes in tab? I searched the web but didn’t turn up any documentation on this.
I am responsible for the double stems in tablature, but I did not invent them ;-)
AFAIK, there is no common standard for tablature with stems. I found the double-stemmed variant in some examples and found it quitemore readable as – for instance – circles drawn around the fret numbers to indicate half or whole notes (this looks even more ugly with chords).
Is there a way to turn this feature off so half note stems are drawn with a single line like quarter notes?I was looking into the source code and it seems that for completeness one should also revert the Stem.X-extent:
