I have a lot of strings like '---\n---\n---\n-0-' and '---\n---\n-3-\n---', and I want to print them side by side like this:

------
------
----3-
-0----

How to do this?

Here is my code:

def formating_list_to_tab(note_list):
    if 'E_0' in note_list:
        return '---\n---\n---\n-0-'
    elif 'F_0' in note_list:
        return '---\n---\n---\n-1-'
    elif 'F#_0' in note_list:
        return '---\n---\n---\n-2-'
    elif 'G_0' in note_list:
        return '---\n---\n---\n-3-'
    elif 'G#_0' in note_list:
        return '---\n---\n---\n-4-'
    elif 'A_0' in note_list:
        return '---\n---\n---\n-5-'
    elif 'A#_0' in note_list:
        return '---\n---\n-1-\n---'
    elif 'B_0' in note_list:
        return '---\n---\n-2-\n---'

def print_tab():
    note_list = []
    for item in notes:
        freq = detect_peak(*get_note_freq(item))
        note_list.append(recognize_note(freq))
    return note_list

note_array = print_tab()

opening_tab = 'G\nD\nA\nE'

for note in note_array:
    
    note_into_tab = formating_list_to_tab(note)
    opening_tab  = note_into_tab

st.text(opening_tab)

Here is my result:

G  
D 
A 
E---
---
---
-2----
---
---
-5----
---
---
-0----
---
---
-0----
---
---
-2----
---
---
-0----
---
---
-0-

Sorry in advance for bad English and thank you for loosing time on me =) And stackoverflow system asks me to make more details. To show string values i'm using streamlit library.

You cant append to an earlier line, you need to build a string for each line separately, then print those in order

def formating_list_to_tab(note_list):
    # returns list of strings, one for each line
    if 'E_0' in note_list:
        return '---','---','---','-0-'
    elif 'F_0' in note_list:
        return '---','---','---','-1-'
    elif 'F#_0' in note_list:
        return '---','---','---','-2-'
    elif 'G_0' in note_list:
        return '---','---','---','-3-'
    elif 'G#_0' in note_list:
        return '---','---','---','-4-'
    elif 'A_0' in note_list:
        return '---','---','---','-5-'
    elif 'A#_0' in note_list:
