It seems that the original creator of the Tabbox had intended that the styling be the same as the Songbox. However, the Tabbox template code is missing the id and classes necessary for the CSS. So, here's what it could look like, based on the Songbox id and classes references, plus I've changed the box title as per my earlier comment:
{| class="infbox wikitable" id="songbox" cellspacing="2"
|-
! class="head" colspan="2" | Tab Info
|-
| '''Name'''
| [[Hysteria (song)|Hysteria]]
|- class="even"
| '''Length'''
| 3:47
|-
| '''Tuning'''
| Standard
|- class="even"
| '''Tempo'''
| 94bpm
|-
| '''Timing'''
| 4/4
|}
Having played around a bit more with this template, I think it could be improved even further. For example, Title" or "Song Title" would be a more accurate label than the existing "Name". Here's what this could look like:
{| class="infbox wikitable" id="songbox" cellspacing="2"
|-
! class="head" colspan="2" | Tab Info
|-
| '''Song Title'''
| [[Hysteria (song)|Hysteria]]
|- class="even"
| '''Length'''
| 3:47
|-
| '''Tuning'''
| Standard
|- class="even"
| '''Tempo'''
| 94bpm
|-
| '''Time signature'''
| 4/4
|}
I think this is best suited for the tabs by album content, rather than the Riffs and jams which, although needs a tidy up, may benefit from its own templates.

Does it make sense having a title "Muse tab"? Do we really need a title at all? I would also suggest changing "Timing" to "Time signature", to be more terminologically correct. --Adewalker (talk) 08:14, 4 December 2014 (GMT)

It seems that the original creator of the Tabbox had intended that the styling be the same as the Songbox. However, the Tabbox template code is missing the id and classes necessary for the CSS. So, here's what it could look like, based on the Songbox id and classes references, plus I've changed the box title as per my earlier comment:

Tab Info
Name Hysteria
Length 3:47
Tuning Standard
Tempo 94bpm
Timing 4/4

Having played around a bit more with this template, I think it could be improved even further. For example, Title" or "Song Title" would be a more accurate label than the existing "Name". Here's what this could look like:

Tab Info
Song Title Hysteria
Length 3:47
Tuning Standard
Tempo 94bpm
Time signature 4/4

I think this is best suited for the tabs by album content, rather than the Riffs and jams which, although needs a tidy up, may benefit from its own templates.
