Tablature Notation Assistance Please!

I'm a novice at notating tablature as you can probably tell if you have seen any of my previous submissions. So please bear with me as I attempt to learn. Right now what I need to know is how to notate a note that ends one bar and rings thru and begins the next bar. For example:

G |——————-|——————-|
D |—1———–1—|—1———–1—|
A |——4—–2——|——4—–2——|
E |———2———|———2———|

The final D1 (D#) in the first bar rings thru and is not played at the beginning of the second bar. Notating this on sheet music is easy, but I'm stumped with tabs.

Is this the right way?

G |——————-|——————-|
D |—1———–1—|–(1)———-1—|
A |——4—–2——|——4—–2——|
E |———2———|———2———|

Or is this the way?

G |——————-|——————-|
D |—1———–1>–|–(1)———-1—|
A |——4—–2——|——4—–2——|
E |———2———|———2———|

Or am I even on the right track at all?

I've seen folks use “r” or “>” to symbolize “let it ring” and “( )” to represent a sustained note. Does the D1 at the end of the first bar even need some type of qualifier? Does the “(1)” at the beginning of the second bar automatically tell me/you that this note is carried forward from the previous bar?

I appreciate the help guys!

Parenthesis represent Ghost notes and not sustained notes. Got it.

So a proper notation of the riff would be:

G|——————–|——————–|
D|—1———–1r—|—————1—-|
A|——4—–2——-|——4—–2——-|
E|———2———-|———2———-|

. . . and therefore it would up to the user to listen to the piece of music to understand the duration of the 1r.

Thank you dbt. I appreciate you taking the time to answer. You've been a great help.

See, that's what Ive always thought tabs should be. But some out are as complex, if not more so, as sheet music and even more difficult to decipher. I believe I'll stick to the KISS method.

Thanks again!
