A missing feature that cam up in several emails is lack of support in lilypond for classical guitar music. The missing features are:
1. Barre symbol: This is marked with a "C" and a fret number in roman numericals (e.g. C IV) and for a partial barre the number of strings to block (e.g. C IV 4/6). The mark is written above the staff with a line spanning over the notes through which the barre is held. 2. String symbol. This is a number inside a circle that is usually written above the note. When several notes are played on the same string there is also a line that spans the notes which are to be played on the marked string. 3. fingering. Guitar music needs two simultanious fingering instructions for each note, a left hand and a right hand fingering. Not always are both supplied but often they are. The left hand is marked with the numbers 1,2,3,4 and is usually placed to the left of the note head or right above it. The right hand fingering is marked with the letters p,i,m,a (and e for flamenco music) they are marked above or below the note stem (much like the current piano fingering works). 4. Chord strumming instructions. Chords can be strumed in two directions, from the low strings to the high strings or vice versa. This is marked either by a little up or down arrow above the chord or by an up or down arrow just before the chord across the entire staff. -- Guy Shaviv ---------- Original Message ----------- From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 16:51:18 +0100 Subject: summary of bugs/feature reqs from lilypond-user? > Hi there, > > Dear hackers, I am back into normal life from a long and invigorating > break.
