Guitar Tablature problems and Hammer on and Pull Offs
hi there,
http://www.nabble.com/file/3817/12bar.pdf 12bar.pdf
I have a few questions about tablature and putting hammer ons and pull offs.
I am using version 2.8.7 under Windows environment. And yes I am a newbie at
this and I cant seem to find anything in the docs to this.
Firstly when I put in some code for tablature and I want an Open E (6th
string) it puts the tab on the 12th fret on the 6th string. It does this
with all of my tab, its seems I cant get it to use open strings or under the
12th fret.
Example:
\header{
title=12 Bar Blues in E Major
composer = Andy D
}
\version 2.8.7
{
\time 4/4
\key e \major
e8 e gis gis
b b cis' cis'
e' e' gis gis
b b cis' (b)
}
\new TabStaff
{
e8\6 e\6 gis\6 gis\6
b\5 b\5 cis'\5 cis'\5
e'\4 e'\4 gis\6 gis\6
b\5 b\5 cis'\5 (b)\5
}
{
a a cis' cis'
e' e' fis' fis'
a' a' cis' cis'
e' e' fis' (e')
}
\new TabStaff
{
a\5 a\5 cis'\5 cis'\5
e'\4 e'\4 fis'\4 fis'\4
a'\3 a'\3 cis'\5 cis'\5
e'\4 e'\4 fis'\4 (e')\4
\repeat volta 1 {}
}
{
b b dis dis
fis' fis' gis' (fis')
a a cis' cis'
e' e' fis' (e')
}
\new TabStaff
{
b\5 b\5 dis\5 dis\5
fis'\4 fis'\4 gis'\4 (fis')\4
a\5 a\5 cis'\5 cis'\5
e'\4 e'\4 fis'\4 (e')\4
}
{
e e gis gis
b b cis' (b)
}
\new TabStaff
{
e\6 e\6 gis\6 gis\6
b\5 b\5 cis'\5 (b)\5
}
Is there a way to force it?
Also when I put in the last area of tab I get 1 peice of tab per bar.
(Grrr!!!) I cant seem to solve this either. Is this a bug?
And my final question is on how do I do a hammer on and pull off in both tab
and normal notation?
Many thanks for your time and answers.
Andy D

Re: Guitar Tablature problems and Hammer on and Pull Offs
Firstly when I put in some code for tablature and I want an Open E (6th string) it puts the tab on the 12th fret on the 6th string. It does this with all of my tab, its seems I cant get it to use open strings or under the 12th fret. Classical guitar is actually written one octave higher than it sounds (or vice versa, I forget). Use the comma to make the actual (as it sounds) notes one octave lower, to get e,8\6 e,\6 gis,\6 gis,\6 (for which the \6 actually becomes unnecessary) rather than e8\6 e\6 gis\6 gis\6 Things will then look right in the tablature. To compensate for this in the regular notation, use \clef G_8 rather than the standard treble clef. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
