Greetings, All!
I just though I'd share a little solution I made up for piano notation
when you want to indicate that a note or chord or whatever should be
played by the opposite hand. It uses the "\finger" function and "\set
fingerOrientations" override to place them in the right spot. There are
two versions of each kind, with and without the text annotations "l.h."
for "left hand" and "r.h." for "right hand". They should be easy to
customize if you want to make it look different than I've done it or
use text for another language other than English.
This really could use a dedicated engraver, probably pulling much of
the functionality from the FingeringEngraver, but this should work for
most cases as it is. Enjoy!
Happy Engraving,
Abraham
\version "2.18.2"
% Hand indicators
% Note: To use these correctly, the note MUST be part of a chord, even
% if it's by itself, using, for example, the following syntax:
%
% \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
% <c\finger \lhMark> % or \lhMarkText to add "l.h." to the mark
%
lhMarkText = \markup {
\concat {
\override #'(font-encoding . latin1) \italic "l.h. "
\path #0.1 #'((moveto 0 -0.5)(rlineto 0 1.5)(rlineto 0.5 0))
}
}
rhMarkText = \markup {
\concat {
\override #'(font-encoding . latin1) \italic "r.h. "
\path #0.1 #'((moveto 0 1)(rlineto 0 -1.5)(rlineto 0.5 0))
}
}
lhMark = \markup {
\path #0.1 #'((moveto -1 0)(rlineto 0 1.5)(rlineto 0.5 0))
}
rhMark = \markup {
\path #0.1 #'((moveto -1 0)(rlineto 0 -1.5)(rlineto 0.5 0))
}
\relative c'' {
c4-1
d-2
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
<c\finger \lhMarkText f>\finger \markup \tied-lyric #"4~3"
<c\finger \rhMark>\finger "2 - 3"
