Thanks for the bug report, Frederico

I don't use tablature notation so I had a look in the docs and I see

Sorry to be a pain, but could you direct me to documentation, or an
example of the syntax for pull-off and hammer-on in tablature? Thanks.

I'm not sure if we take bug reports against the GSoC page, but no
matter. Once I have those references from you I can create a tracker.

Good idea. Could you send the file or a reference to it? I'll upload
it to the 1196 tracker.
