I've always used extra-light strings on my acoustic guitars. I've only done tunings a few times and most of that was open E tuning. I did occasional experimentation with other tunings, and never had a problem with extra-light strings. I can't say if these were drop D and C tunings, however.

In C, how can I read from a text file and put strings separated by tabs (\t) into a structure array?
Example:
John (\t) Doe (\t) Jr.
Johnny (\t) Doey (\t) Sr.
in an array...
typedef struct person {
name
sname
stitle
} person;
I need to do this in order to alter these strings.

Haven't been doing much C lately, but take a look in your standard io (stdio.h) and string (string.h) libraries for functions like fopen, fgets, and strtok...
That should get you going in the right direction.

Are there any viola pomposa's in existence or still made today? (5-string cello [C-G-d-a-e'] invented by Bach)
The International Music Co. (NY) edition of J. S. Bach’s Solo Cello Suite #6 in D was “composed originally for an instrument with 5 strings C-G-d-a-e', 'Viola Pomposa' which was invented by J. S. Bach". (1) Are there other historical references to this instrument? (2) Are old instruments still in existence? (3) Do modern makers still make it? (4) What string length, string gauges and string materials do they use? (Shorter length is needed so the high e’ string won’t need to be tuned so tight, but the shorter length for the lower strings means they need to be tuned looser, thus lack volume and sonority.) (5) How will the body and neck support the added tension of the extra 5th string? (6) What is the proper width, length and depth of the instrument body for the best resonance and sonority? (Will the instrument sound like a high-pitched cello or like a low-pitched viola?) (7) Would a 4-string version (G-d-a-e’) add anything to the String Quartet, Cello Quartet or Cello Orchestra?

There are modern 5 string cellos with C,G,D,A,E, tuning, mostly of the electric variety. These are mostly used in non-classical groups. Having the hogher register available adds to the ability of the cello to carry more of the lead and melody lines, as opposed to its more traditional supporting role. There was also an instrument in the mid 1800's called the Arpeggion. Franz Schubert wrote a sonanta for that instrument. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpeggione
This instrument is not being currently used much either.
Reply:The only thing I know of that sounds close is a five-string violin/viola. I had a friend in college that had one - it was pretty cool even though it was electric. I've seen others and they have all been electric. It had c-d-g-a-e strings and sounded like a viola/violin as it had the range of both instruments.
As for other old instruments - I've seen and played dulcimers, psaltries, zithers, and knew a guy who made a hurdy-gurdy.
As for the rest of your questions, sorry I can't answer them. I suggest that you find a good luthier in your area and ask him/her - or if there's a college with a good music program - ask a music history professor there.
Reply:I can only confidently say that it is unlikely that this instrument would add anything to the string quartet because the string quartet came in later. I've never come across this instrument but there are many collections of historical instruments that could have one. Here in Britain we have the Royal Academy of Music in London, and the Victoria and Albert musuem sometimes has old instruments. This sounds like it might be a relative of the viol, and there are still examples of that around.

Consider strings of length 7 formed from the letters a,b,c,d,e,f,g (wthout repetition)?
how many of these strings do not have the letters f and g appearing together?
Consider strings of length 7 formed from the letters a,b,c,d,e,f,g (wthout repetition)?
I'll assume that by "appearing together" you mean that f and g are adjacent. Thus, "bagfcde" would be called "appearing together," and "fcgeadb" would not.
It's easier to count the number of strings that have f, g adjacent. First we count the number of strings that begin with fg and are followed by any permutation of a,b,c,d,e. There are 5! = 120 of these.
Next, we allow "fg" to appear at any position in the string. We have 120 strings of the form "fg.....", 120 of the form ".fg....", etc., up to 120 of the form ".....fg". So we multiply 120 * 6 to get 720 strings so far.
Finally, for each string of the form "..fg...", there is a string of the form "..gf...". So we multiply 720 * 2 to get 1440 total strings with f,g adjacent.
So the number of strings without f,g adjacent is 7! - 1440 = 5040 - 1440 = 3600.
Reply:if you have 7 letters and 7 positions of non-repeatative numbers, then your answer must be zero because all strings of lenght 7 will contain the letters
Reply:The answer is 3600
Number of strings of length 7 = 7! = 7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 5040
If we imagine there are 7 positions, then f and g can be next to each other in the 1st and 2nd positions or the 2nd and 3rd or........or the 6th and 7th. This makes 6. But since f and g can be in the order fg or gf, then the total is 12. Now for each of these 12 positions, the remaining 5 positions can be filled by the remaining 5 letters in 5! = 120 ways. So there are a total of 12 x 120 = 1440 strings with f and g next to each other. So the answer to your question is 5040 - 1440 = 3600.
Reply:With F as your first letter, there are 5 possible letters to be second (any except G) and 5! possibilities for letters in positions 3-7.
With F as your last letter, there are 5 possible letters to be sixth and 5! possibilities for letters in positions 1-5.
2 · 5 · 5! = 10(120) = 1200.
With F somewhere in the middle, there are 5 possible letters behind it (any except G), 4 possible letters after it (any except G and the letter before F), and 4! possibilities for the letters in the remaining positions. There are 5 possible placements for F in the middle.
5 · 5 · 4 · 4! = 100(24) = 2400.
There are [1200 + 2400 =] 3600 ways to arrange the letters A through G such that F and G don't appear next to one another.

In C, how are spaces entered in strings entered from user?
[%s in scanf does not consider spaces]
In C, how are spaces entered in strings entered from user?
you can read a whole line with fgets
Reply:Use "gets"... but you will have to parse the string yourself.
#
Reply:Use gets( char * ), gets reads until a newline is found. Note that the newline (\n) is not returned in the string.

What does # mean when reading guitar tabs and why when reading them is there sometimes a 'C' string??
i dont have a c string ???
What does # mean when reading guitar tabs and why when reading them is there sometimes a 'C' string??
that would be a sharp note. one step higher than the note with out the sharp. :)
Reply:# is the sharp symbol
Reply:Ofcourse there's a C string...and # means sharp
Reply:a C sharp
Reply:Sharp Note. Usually up from a white key to a black key on a piano
Reply:I would assume that # means the same thing as it does in any musical notations - sharp, i.e. a half-tone up.
Reply:#: Sharp
♮: Natural
b: Flat
Reply:It's a sharped note; it means that you raise the pitch by a half-step (one fret, on a guitar).
Reply:No such thing as a C string so the letter is an indication of the chord. The # sign indicates a sharp note which is one fret higher than its usual position and the b sign indicates a flat which is one fret lower than the usual position. The Natural Sign is only used when a note has been sharped or flatted and needs to return to it's normal position within the same measure or between two bar lines OR when a note is sharped in the key signature and the notation requires it to be played in it's usual position. Of course these rules apply to musical notation on staff paper and not in the Tablature notation method.
