Dear all, Thank you very much for the time taken to comment on my problem.
I tried all the suggestions one by one - the best solution was to upgrade to Lilypond 2.24 (much easier than I thought) and to use Jean's code below: \version "2.24.1" \layout { \context { \NoteNames noteNameFunction = #(lambda args #{ \markup \with-string-transformer #(lambda (layout props str) (string-upcase str)) #(apply note-name-markup args) #}) } } music = \relative c { c, cis d es } \score { << \new TabStaff \with { stringTunings = #bass-tuning } { \music } \new NoteNames { \music } >> \layout { } \midi { } } --- Viktor Mastoridis On Mon, 7 Aug 2023 at 19:04, Jean Abou Samra <j...@abou-samra.fr> wrote: > Le lundi 07 août 2023 à 19:00 +0100, Viktor Mastoridis a écrit : > > How do I upgrade to Lilypond 2.24 on Mint 21 (Ubuntu LTS 22.4) without > braking the system? > > > > > Just follow the tutorial, it will not interfere with the system in any way. > > > https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/graphical-setup-under-gnu_002flinux.html > > > (You presumably already have Frescobaldi, so you don't need that part, > only the part where it explains how to add a new LilyPond version to > Frescobaldi.) >
