No battle; they compliment each other. Let me say I can read in all keys and
that I believe in the value of reading,
but if you're going to put harmonica music in writing and expect most people
to have a chance at understanding it,
you must have both tab and notation for the player. One isn't much good
without the other, either.
One has to accomodate the reader, that's all, and most players only read
music mimimally, if at all.
Sorry if you got a different impression.
