My case is that I have some notes that may be played on guitars with
differing turnings. To accomplish this I would like to separate the
fret specifics from the actual notes. What is happening is that only the
first section of music reflects the fret details for a given tuning.
Following is a trimmed down example with just two measures along with
result screen shots.
\version "2.24.2"
\language "english"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
bckngNotes = \relative c' {
b'1 |
}
gtrBackingNoteDetails = {
\set restrainOpenStrings = ##t
\set minimumFret = #12
s1 |
}
verseScore = <<
\tag #'gtrBackingNotes \context TabStaff = "gtrBackingNotes"
<< \bckngNotes \gtrBackingNoteDetails >>
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
bckngNotes = \relative c' {
b1 |
}
gtrBackingNoteDetails = {
\set restrainOpenStrings = ##t
\set minimumFret = #4
s1 |
}
chorusScore = <<
\tag #'gtrBackingNotes \context TabStaff = "gtrBackingNotes"
<< \bckngNotes \gtrBackingNoteDetails >>
>>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
fullScore = {
\verseScore
\chorusScore
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\book {
\score {
<<
\keepWithTag #'(gtrBackingNotes)
\fullScore
>>
}
}
Here is a screen shot of the result. What I was hoping for is that the
second measure would indicate the 4th fret.
fullScore = {
\verseScore
\chorusScore
}
If I flip the verse and chorus measures I get and would have wanted the
second measure to be 12.
fullScore = {
\chorusScore
\verseScore
}
