Not to defend trumpet tabs, I just now became aware of their existance. Upon examining the examples, it looks like a quick,
dirty, and crude way to encode a tune with ASCII, ommitting rhythmic properties. I suppose if you were in a jam to take a tune down in dictation and just had a napkin to scribble on (no manuscript paper) it might have limited value. A dump of midi code
would be somewhat similar with every note being an event with pitch, duration, volume, timbre, etc properties.
Watch for the new Arban's edition in tab notation!
