yes it doesn't understand slash chords. Anyone have a good reference for them?

Slash chords are quite simple to play , just change the bass string for the one on the right part.
(BTW i use JTab for a gridPlayer i've done .. so good job)
REM : Why use / for repeating chords instead of % ?

I haven't looked further than http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_chord but it still needs turning into an algorithm of sorts for jTab to know how to render the correct positioning.

NB: I originally used / to represent repeating chords simply because it's common in printed tab

My point is for what it's worth , is that slash chords are for Bass in guitar and for BassChord on piano . For repeating chords i mainly use %
Am % Bm % A/G C [an example]

Just to add to the conversation, I've been playing guitar for about a year (so I'm a noob) but I've never seen % used for repeating chords. All the notation I've ever seen uses slash, such as:

G / / / C / D /
