Hi Mike,I would suggest to add the possibility of marked keys (to make sing trills or smorzati, for example)... by now I am drawing my diagrams with postscript, but there is what I am talking about (attached)...
I would also like to know: is the code of your woodwind diagrams available somewhere?
(Does it require to recompile lilypond or can it be used with "includes"?) Thanks José Em 09/06/10 06:26, Mike Solomon escreveu:
Hey liylpond users, Please see: http://www.apollinemike.com/lilypond/woodwind-diagrams-text-graphic.pdf and http://www.apollinemike.com/lilypond/woodwind-diagrams-text-graphic.ly to see the changes proposed by M Watts and Ian Hulin incorporated into the woodwind diagrams. To summarize: There is now a new flute, flute-b-extension, for flutes with the b extension. There is now a new bass clarinet, low-bass-clarinet, for bass clarinets with low keys (c, cis, d). There are separate commands for saxophone-saxohpone, alto-saxophone, tenor-saxophone, and baritone-saxophone. There is a low-a key for bari sax that is only drawn wehn you call it. All graphical comments have been integrated save the low oboe keys - in most examples I've consulted, the keys are not drawn w/ equal sizes. And I think it's prettier w/ the different sizes :-) Bagpipes, tin whistles, simple clarinets, bagpipes and the like will be looked into in the not-too-distant future. For now, I'm going to try and get what already exists into Lilypond ASAP. If any of you want to contribute diagrams, please consult me for the source (which is all in scheme).

What is the right-hand x key about on the piccolo chart? If you can add something to use the relevant key-cluster appropriately that would be good.

So 'one' should be at the top, and 'six' at the bottom.1+ Some w/w tutors also use a L1, L2, L3, R1 R2 R3 numbering system, but the low numbers are *always* at the headjoint end of the instrument and increase down to the footjoint end.Several minor things:-- Could the separator line between lh& rh key be a bit longer? I like the way you only include relevant key clusters -- no need to show every key every time. Oboe: rh c cis& ees keys are usually of equal size Saxophone: front f could be a bit bigger and closer to lh one; palm keys could be a bit bigger (lh d ees& f); rh side keys could be a bit bigger (side bes, side c, high e). Maybe add baritone sax low A thumb key?Similar point to the low-b on the flute. Not all makes have this.Clarinet: maybe T& R could be a bit smaller. Bass clarinet: some horns have an additional ees/aes lever in the lh little finger cluster; low c horns might have a 6th key for rh little finger (for low d), as well as 3 keys for rh thumb (low d, des, c)2) Do the diagrams meet the standard of visual elegance to which you hold lilypond?I reckon so -- they're looking really nice; I like the ability to indicate depressedRing-to-open trills etc.If you are interested in extending this project to other instruments, please let me know.Maybe recorder, tin whistle, bagpipesBaroque flute, Simple-system flute (pre-Boehm keyed - used by 'Irish traditional music flute players). Simple-system clarinet. French-system bassoon.The code is written as such so that someone who knows how to use Scheme should be able to, by observing the way that the instruments are constructed, make their own instrument in the same manner.Very handy.1+ Cheers, Ian_______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
