Desmond, I think I understand what you're trying to accomplish as far as trying to put some "timing" into your tabs. Tabs are great if you already know how the song goes, but if you don't know the song.... Well, let's just say one can come close, but that's about it. A tab just can't hold a candle to all the nuances of written music (as far as type of note - whole note, half note, quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, etc., and all the different type of rests, and verious symbols of how the music is to be played, etc..) I've tried to do the same, and in a few ballads I've come "kinda close", but I can't differentiate on a tab, for example, the difference between an eighth note and a dotted eighth note. So, I do the best I can and try to always include a link to the actual song (next to the "Audio" heading), so in case you don't know it, it's available for listening.
As far as what songs take off and are big hits, verses those songs that just seem to languish on views, there's no telling. Like Mr. X said, he's posted several songs that he was sure would be great hits, and yet, to date, they have only a few hundred views. I understand where he's coming from, too. I've posted more than a few songs that I thought for sure would get, at the very least, a hundred views the first 24 hours after posting but some've been up for over eight months now and are yet to reach 500 views. Still others, that I thought probably wouldn't get viewed much, took off like a lighting bolt and are still going strong. I don't get it either.
To fix one of your tabs or remove one of your tabs once you've posted it:
First you must log in. Once logged in, go to your tab that you want to work on, and across the very top of the tab you'll see multiple options starting with "Add to Favorites", then "Post File", then "Print", etc., with next to last is "Edit this song", and the last is "Delete Song". If a song is just so FUBARed you can't fix it, just hit "Delete Song" and start over again (that way, you wount have to misspell the name of the song to get it to post).
Okay, I think I covered everything.... Hope this at least helps.
