If I were you, I would rather try to get rid of the LaTeX error message instead of adding a cludge to lilypond-book. Thanks for sharing your solution on the mailing list. I don't think the problem is common enough to include your patch in the official releases, but if somebody else hits upon the

It seems that nobody has answered your question yet. I don't know anything about tablature notation, but Google found the following example http://www.sibelius.com/products/g7/features4.html which seems similar to the way LilyPond typesets the chords. Since LilyPond is free software, implemented

I'm rather surprised that you have managed to use lilypond-book with the flag --psfonts on Windows. Last time I tried, it only worked to use lilypond-book --pdf songbook.lytex pdflatex songbook (make sure to first remove all old lily-*.* files from your working directory). Hopefully, this will
