No one is getting paid for it so why waste hours trying to write out the entire rhythm and fingering? That’s the charitable view, certainly. My experience is that it’s usually just incompetence. With pencil and paper, or any halfway-decent software, the effort involved in putting time values in is minimal. (Granted that if you have to produce tab with just ASCII, then adding time-values is a major pain.) With good tab (such as M. Faucher’s) you can play the piece without access to the recording. After all, if the lutenists could do it 500 years ago, why can’t we? If you can’t afford the software, six-line manuscript paper is available from the Lute Society — that’s what I used to use. As for existing tab pulled of the net: print it out and then put in the time-values (and bar-lines, if necessary) yourself.
