Bo...you have to imagine that your banjo is tuned to e A E G# B. Those are your reference pitches, Your thumb string is now an "e". I have a Banjo Rosetta posted for pitch reference either way. Let me know if you can't find it. It will be very helpful.

Tim, Thank you very much.  I think I can do this now.  Hopefully I can share something worthwhile when it’s done.

Well here is my first attempt to convert music to tab.  I hope everyone enjoys it.  If anyone finds an error please let me know so I can update it.

Looks really good Bo. Nice job. The second note in M10 is different...might be of your own choosing. Keeps it the same as M14 however.

Tim, Thank you!  I will correct the 10th m so it matches the sheet music.  It sounded good so I didn't notice my misplacement.  I am really excited about being able to do this.  It opens a whole new door.  Thank you for your help!

I have one more question for future attempts.  If there are 4 sharps what tuning would that be?  I knew 1 is d G D F# A and now I know 3 sharps is e A E G# B.

4 sharps is the same as 3 for your tuning.

Bo...one more thing you should do. Group the notes in the final measure to show 2 triplets.
