This program displays a Guitar tablature.
I wrote it for personal use: and to get acquainted with WPF (I already knew Windows Forms).
The program takes an input file with a format like this:

This input file is created by hand (using a text editor).
The output (user interface) of the program looks like this:
WPF seems a good match, a convenient way to implement this software.
- Each bar is displayed by a separate
Canvasscontrol. - The bars are displayed in a
WrapPanel-- so if you change the size of the window, the bars are repositioned.
