Hello, After years of typesetting guitar music with MusiXTeX, I finally switched to Lilypond (2.10.5, which comes with ubuntu feisty). Now (nearly) everything works fine, but there are two related problems with tabulature:
1) How can I put a symbol instead of the fret number in the tabulature? Sometimes a "x" denotes that a string is plucked with no definite pitch, or I use brackets to indicate a harmonic: <5> (the number needn't to be calculated by lilypond, because the relationship between the fret number and the resultig note is not linear; even fractional frets like <2.6> for the sixth harmonic of a string are used in tabbing guitar scores). 2) How can I put a symbol in the middle between two tab numbers, without influencing the spacing? For example, there are many possibilities to connect two notes, like "hammer on", "pull off, "slide" etc., which I want to mark not with a slur in the tabulature, but with one or two letters: -----10-p-8--------------------- ---------------5-h-7---4-sl-5--- -------------------------------- I searched the manual and the LSR, but I dind't find any hints. Thanks for any suggestions, Marc -- www.hohlart.de _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
