Tabs! (no not that sort)

[TheG]

I did a reading concert (older pop tunes) a while a go now and the MD was going through the set list of tunes and he kept mentioning that there were tabs here and there and also false tabs. I think we played "play ons/offs" at these places but I was confused at this term "tabs". I think its an old term.

In the future can I assume tabs means "play ons/offs"? What does the term relate to? When I search for the term online I only get theatre curtain tabs or guitar tablature tabs, both of which aren't what I am looking for.

Would be cool to get this clear in my mind for next time. Any clarity would be most appreciated.

Cheers
