Hi all,
(Sorry for the duplicate, I didn't know how I replied created issues
for others.)
What's the state of Lilypond's support for notating bends in guitar
music? I've read ["The Story of 'String Bending' in Lilypond"][1] on
the Lilypond blog, and that seemed promising, but it seems work on
the new bend engraver has stopped.
As far as I know, there's only one person, Harm, who worked on this
stuff in the last few years.
I guess he will reply to this thread and let us know if there's any
progress to be expected in the future.
I'm interested specifically in the angled lines that indicate bends
in the regular staff, more or less like what is shown in the attached
PDF (from [issue 1196][2] mentioned in the blog post).
If it's not there yet, I can always use some other notation to
indicate bending---after all, I'm only using Lilypond to do some
transcriptions and lead sheets for myself---but it would be a good
feature. To me, it's also probably the only significant shortcoming
of Lilypond.
Hoping for good news! If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do
what I can, although my coding skills are kinda basic.
The angled lines in the staff were present in the old implementation by
Marc Hohl.
IIRC Harm told me that porting that portion of Marc's code into his
implementation shouldn't be too difficult. Well, if you can code and
know Scheme.
You may test your coding skills and try? ;-)
Regards,
Randy
