Tabs are piano notes written in text format. On this site they represent listeners'
interpretations of songs, thus they often don't tell exactly how a song is played.
Even though a tab can tell the reader all about how to play a song, the reader is
supposed to have heard the song before learning it.
The advantages of using the tab format instead of standard notation are:
-Tabs can be written/read anywhere without any special software
-They will always be a lot earlier on the web than the sheet music
-They use a minimum of diskspace
-They use little screen space
-They allow the writer to use comments etc., instead of necessarily having to write
accurate standard sheet music
The disadvantages of using the tab format instead of standard notation are:
-Tabs are not very easy to play along with, until you learn the songs by heart
-They sometimes are longwinded to write, but it's up to the writer how detailed the tab is..

I recommend using your browser (small text size) and "Textpad" respectively
when printing and writing piano tabs...
