How to catch events (string plucked) from a Guitar Tab?

Question

I m writing to you to have advice on a methodology to achieve a specific musical purpose.

I have a project where I would like to robotize and automatize the “right hand” of a guitarist, which means, plucking the strings not with the hand, but with plectrums, attached to step motors ( 6 plectrums attached to 6 step motors, each one over each string). Then I would still use my own left hand to play on the neck.

To do this, I do not want to hard-code it, but instead create a flexible algorithm, which means that I would like to first, create the guitar tab in an editor, like TuxGuitar, and then get events every time a string is plucked, and trigger the corresponding motor (in python, C++ ..).

The issue is I am struggling finding a right way to do so. First I found PyGuitarPro, but, from my understanding, it only reads and manipulates files, but there is no notion of time and playback. Then I was thinking of exporting the Tab from TuxGuitar into midi and then using another lib to read those event, but by exporting into midi, I lose the information of the guitar tab, which tells me which string is plucked ( as a single note can be played on different strings on the guitar).

Would you have a good starting point to achieve this?

Thanks!
