In 30 years of playing guitar (jazz and rock), I have never seen this notation. Is there an example on the Web you can point to? I'd be interested in seeing how it's used.
Ummm, I'll look on the web to see if I can fine something. However, what I'm reading from is the Guitar Repertoire and Studies/Etudies books from the RCM <http://www.rcmusic.ca>. The left-hand shifting notation is used throughout all of the study books from grade 1 to grade 10. Any guitar player in Canada that goes through the RCM has been brought up with this notation. I just assumed it was universal. The study books are not online so I can't show you my primary examples. If you want, I can scan a page and email it directly to you. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
