Sorry, I was wrong. I'm not a string player so I don't use tablature.

Just using a fixed font for sot / eot is the correct handling. Transposing does not make sense because empty strings cannot be handled in a way that makes sense. The CordPro reference implementation handles it the same way.

My example was just copied from ultimate guitar, the empty lines should be removed. Correct is

Code:

{t:Guitar Tab}
[|] [C] [|] [G7] [|]

{sot}
e|-------5-7-----7-|-8-----8-2-----2-|-0---------0-----|-----------------|
B|-----5-----5-----|---5-------3-----|---1---1-----1---|-0-1-1-----------|
G|---5---------5---|-----5-------2---|-----2---------2-|-0-2-2----2------|
D|-7-------6-------|-5-------4-------|-3---------------|-----------------|
A|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-2-0-0----0-/8-7-|
E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
{eot}
