LilyPonders, I think I'm trying to push LilyPond's fretboard diagrams beyond it's limit in trying to use fretboards to display scale patterns and intervals rather than chords and fingerings. So this post is either a request to be able to do something LilyPond cannot do, or a request to add such functionality to future versions of LilyPond.
What I want to do is to change the in-dot finger-code to reflect not fingerings, but scale intervals in scale and arpeggio diagrams of the entire fretboard or part of a fretboard. The attached file uses the ukulele fretboard as an example of dominant seventh arpeggios. \addChordShape #'DominantSeventh #ukulele-tuning #'( (place-fret 4 1 5) (place-fret 4 4 7) (place-fret 4 6 1) (place-fret 4 10 3) (place-fret 4 13 5) (place-fret 4 16 7) (place-fret 3 1 1) (place-fret 3 5 3) (place-fret 3 8 5) (place-fret 3 11 7) (place-fret 3 13 1) (place-fret 2 1 3) (place-fret 2 4 5) (place-fret 2 7 7) (place-fret 2 9 1) (place-fret 2 13 3) (place-fret 2 16 5) (place-fret 1 2 7) (place-fret 1 4 1) (place-fret 1 8 3) (place-fret 1 11 5) (place-fret 1 14 7) (place-fret 1 16 1) ) \storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode { des'':7 } #ukulele-tuning #(chord-shape 'DominantSeventh ukulele-tuning) I would like to be able to re-label the in-dot numbers to use 'b3' and 'b7' instead of '3' and '7' for the flat-third and flat-seventh intervals respectively, and to be able to use 'R' instead of '1' for the root. I don't think it's possible but if so, how do I do it? Thanks in advance, Jay. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
