Discussed in #2905
Current Situation
When showing only tab staves various effect annotations currently placed in the standard notation are not indicated anymore. In this case specifically accentuation related elements are lost (staccato, tenuto,..)
Guitar Pro places them as effects outside the staff.
in alphaTab simply nothing is shown.
Possible approaches
a) we could add effects specifically attached to the tab staff and we would only create glyphs based on staff visibility. This would need new effect infos, extending the element enumeration etc.
b) we make it part of the TabNoteChordGlyph where we already maintain some beat effects. But placement would be potentially different than expected.
It's worth checking what each mechanism targets and select based on element placement. There is even potential to eliminate the beat effect mechanism as only tremolo picking seem to be used.
