Re: Wishlist for Guitar (or string) features (newbie!)
When I was young I wanted to play guitar with Jeff Beck. He plays very well with guitar. I liked his style. I consider him the best guitarists of all time <http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-guitarists-of-all-time> . I wish I could meet him once in my life. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Wishlist-for-Guitar-or-string-features-newbie-tp14280p169021.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Wishlist for Guitar (or string) features (newbie!)
I've found that the addition of FretBoard greatly enhances chords and
wanted to congratulate everyone involved.
I also would like the possibility of muted strings in tablature, like
the X in notation that I haven't been able to accomplish so far...

Hi,
I dont know if I should be saying this in this forum, but I have a
wish list for guitar related stuff. I am just a newbie and still
trying to get a hold of the syntax but I have found some stuff that
is a bit lacking in the guitar arena. Or maybe is not documented
clearly? Maybe this is because guitarists have avoided using lilypond
and thus not enough development (I know you guys are over worked as
it is) I dont know.
But stuff I would like to see in lilypond
Hammer-On's
Pull-Off's
Slides (maybe another way of doing it inside lilypond but I havent
found it)
Tablature related:
I know the chord features inside tab arent great. But would it be
possible to define a tab chord and place it inside tab? For example:
\tabchord Aminor
So "Aminor" is the chordname we use for inside the tab
6,x 5,0 4,2 3,2 2,1 1,0 is the six strings in the guitar (EADGBE)
6,x (string, fret to be played (x not played 0 is open)
\new TabStaff
{ Aminor:8 Aminor Aminor etc etc}
it may be a bit messy but it seems logical? Maybe?
So I hope this makes sense and please excuse my ignornance if this is
done some other way. I think I might have to get a "LilyPond Guitar
FAQ together" as additional to the tutorial. There are a LOT of
guitarists out there and really this is a far better tool then I have
seen that is for Linux/Win32/Mac environments.
Thoughts and comments?

Re: Wishlist for Guitar (or string) features (newbie!)
I have just sponsored some new guitar related items, and inadvertantly some
tab clean-up items that will be in future release.
I understand your idea, but I would also argue that using notes instead of
hard-coded fret and string numbers is the way to go.
This way your output can participate in transposition and you can re-use the
notes you coded on a regular staff for those who dont read Tab. Just me,
but I find it more natural to both code lilypond and to think of the
fretboard in terms of notes instead of fret/string coordinates, it just
makes more musical sense to me, as I can relate note names directly to
harmony, resolutons and voice movement in my mind with more clarity than I
can numbers representing strings and frets. There already exists syntax for
specifying a string number that can be appended to a note to give any
algorithm a hint as to what string/fret to play notes that may exist in
multiple places on the fretboard. From one can calculate the fret
number based on the open string tuning property of the staff which will of
course differ for all fretted instruments. For standard guitar tuning
fret number 5 would be calculated in this case.
But if you want to pitch in I will also participate in any future fretted
instrument enhancements (monetarily, requirement definition, and
design/test) that others see a pressing need for or want to colabborate(sp)
on.
