I don't know the answer, but would remark that if the letters are not centred
vertically, they will have to cross the staff line. Is that what you want?

Subject: tablature characters alignment
Hi list.
I'm dealing with tablature these days ( >:o or :-) ?) and lots of spacing
stuff...
When you run this piece of code :
\version "2.13"
#(set-global-staff-size 24)
jenkinsI = #'(2 -3 -7 -10 -14 -19) %jenkins' scordatura
\layout {
\context {
\TabStaff
\override TabNoteHead #'extra-offset = #'(0 . .5)%letters above the
line
}
\context {%pas d'indication de rythme
\TabVoice
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
\override Beam #'transparent = ##t
\override Dots #'transparent = ##t
\override TabNoteHead #'font-name = #'"Adobe Garamond Pro Regular"
%font is for no effect on the thing I want to show you
\override TabNoteHead #'whiteout = ##f
}
}
%%%%%%
notes = \relative c {\time 3/2
%figures
f,4\6 bes\5 d\4 f\3 a\2 d\1 fis,,\6 b\5 dis\4 fis\3 bes\2 dis\1 g,,\6 c\5 e\4
g\3 b\2 e\1
%letters
\set tablatureFormat = #fret-letter-tablature-format
f,,4\6 bes\5 d\4 f\3 a\2 d\1 fis,,\6 b\5 dis\4 fis\3 bes\2 dis\1 g,,\6 c\5
e\4 g\3 b\2 e\1
}
%%%%%
\score{
\new TabStaff {\set TabStaff.stringTunings = #jenkinsI \notes}
\layout{}
}
you can notice that if all the figures are well aligned, it is not the same
with letters. little letters (a, c, e...) do align just above the line, as I
want. But the long ones (b, d, f, g, h, k, l, ...) are a bit lower on the line.
I think that's because Lily refers to the middle line of a character, and not
to the base line, so that longer letters appear lower.
If it is so, my question is : which trick could make all the letters align on
the same line ?
I hope someone will have an answer to this pb !
Bes regards.
JMarc
