I am a new user to Lilypond and Im a Viola player. Typesetting music for string players is my interest.
1) What I would like to do is use a circumflex to mark a semitone. This is widely used by string teachers but I cannot see how to do it in Lilypond. For example e f would be written (roughly) e^f but it would be nicer than this where the little hat, or circumflex, is evenly over the two notes e and f. Is there a command in lilypond to do this ? 2) i also found the upbow and downbow markers, but I could not find other bowing annotations, like where on the bow one should play, that is, middle heel point etc ... Are there commands in lilypond for this ? 3) Finally there is another common marking used by string players to indicate holding a particular finger down while others are being played. This is typically a line underneath the stave that continues for the duration that the finger must be held down and is labelled with a number to indicate which finger is being held down. This is perhaps complicated but is there a means to do this in Lilypond ?
