When speaking of the single dot, double dot, etc., it can be assumed that the low kite is meant, since it's the most comfortable region to play in.   
When speaking of the single dot, double dot, etc., it can be assumed that the low kite is meant, since it's the most comfortable region to play in.   


For guitar tablature, a compact written form of the dot names is needed. A dot in the low kite is indicated by one, two or three commas (the actual punctuation mark ","). The comma was chosen because of its compact shape, tight kerning, and tail (a period would be too easy to miss). Also, it literally sits low on the line. For similar reasons, a high dot is indicated by one, two or three apostrophes. (Or an apostrophe, a quote mark, and a quote mark plus an apostrophe.) For the mid dot, there is unfortunately no obvious punctuation mark. There are several options. A tilde is easily typed, but not at all compact. A hyphen would tend to be obscured by the lines on the tablature staff. There is also a unicode character Ring Point (U+2E30) which looks like a dot: ⸰

For the mid dot, there is unfortunately no obvious punctuation mark. A hyphen would tend to be obscured by the lines on the tablature staff. The best ASCII option is a tilde, unfortunately not at all compact. The most dot-like Unicode characters are the Subscripted Letter O ₒ (U+2092) or ̻ (U+033B), the Ring Point ⸰ (U+2E30), and the degree sign ° (U+00B0). Another possibility for the low dot is the Tifinagh Letter Ya ⴰ (U+2D30). 


The specific fret is indicated by how far it is from a dot, zero, one, two or three frets:

The main use of this fret numbering is for tab. But it can also be used for chords, and x8x759 can be written as x ,,0 x ,3 ,1 ,,1.
