How could I turn violin sheet music into guitar tabs?

I would like to know how to turn the dots and sticks on violin sheet music into tabs for the guitar, in the words of Skwisgaar Skwigelf, I have ';musik dyslex-kia'; so, tabs are the only thing i can read, but if there's a way set in stone to do this, please tell me, also, tell me any differentguitar tunings that would be good for violin while playing neoclassical metal if you can, thank you, I really appreciate it.How could I turn violin sheet music into guitar tabs?
I've taught several adults with Dyslexia, and without exception they've all been able to read music, though some have taken a little longer to learn. Music notation is extremely logical, and compared with written words, there are only a small number of shapes. You have to read from left to right and see the blobs at different heights on the stave, but this is no different from reading tab.





The payoff is immense - the notated range of the violin is almost exactly the same as that of the guitar (though the guitar is an octave lower because it's twice the size). So you can just pick up a piece of violin music and play it.





And the payoff in learning to read music is even bigger - you can play flute music, clarinet music - just pick it up and play it - no work needed.





So rather than spend hours laboriously transcribing one or two pieces, spend the same time with flash-cards, learning to read notation. And then every day after that you'll save time and sharpen your skills at the same time... It's got to be the way forward. After all dyslexic violinists, pianists and flautists all manage to read music, because there's no such thing as tab for violin!
