Why does guitar tab have six lines?

Each line represents one string of a standard guitar, from the low E on the bottom to the high E on top. You write fret numbers on the lines.

Can I get more systems per page?

Yes — choose a higher system count for compact pages, or fewer systems when you want more room between lines for notes and fingering.
