-- Each line is a string (highest pitch at top, lowest at bottom)
+- Each line is a string. Chord tab from ``fb.tab()`` lists strings
+  low-to-high (lowest pitch at top) by default since v0.43.0; pass
+  ``high_to_low=True`` to the fretboard for the traditional
+  highest-pitch-on-top layout.
 - Numbers are fret positions (0 = open, 1-24 = fretted)
 - ``x`` means the string is muted / not played
 - ``|`` marks measure boundaries in sequence tabs
