Experimental Mountain Dulcimer Tab

I've been experimenting with some code to produce simple mountain dulcimer tab for songs. This program doesn't do a great deal; it simply arranges the notes in the song across the strings. When it can't place the note on the strings anywhere, it produces an 'X' across all three strings. This program assumes you have a 6 1/2 fret, and notes it as '6*'.

This song appears to be in C. This program isn't smart enough to determine what mode it's in. Here are some popular modal tunings that should encompass that key (listed melody, middle, bass):

Or just enter your own tuning:

This program currently won't transpose the song for you, but you can get a similar effect by telling it your strings are tuned differently.
