Hi Carl! Actually that was part of the discussion that followed my initial request. This thread can be found on Frogs' archives: http://lilypond-frogs.2124236.n2.nabble.com/Could-a-frog-spend-20-min-to-help-cellist-s-thumb-tp4918234p4954272.html I suggested/asked (later) if it was possible to make \thumb engraved by the (New_)Fingering_engraver , since I found it more logical from a user/musician point of view. I don't have a clue how to do this since I have no development skills at all, but I think that the answer Neil gave me could/should be somewhat useful. 2010/4/24 Neil Puttock <n.putt...@gmail.com>: >> Instrumentally-speaking, it's not an articulation, it's a fingering. > > Yes, but I was talking about how it's implemented in LilyPond. > >> By the way I suppose it would be too difficult/unappropriated to make >> \thumb engraved by the Fingering_engraver , which, from a non-dev point >> of view, would seem more logical... > > That's a nice idea (and easily implemented without touching the engraver): > > thumb = > #(make-music 'FingeringEvent > 'text (markup #:fontsize 5 #:musicglyph "scripts.thumb")) > > \relative c' { > \override Fingering #'text = > #(lambda (grob) > (let ((finger-text (ly:event-property (event-cause grob) 'text))) > (if (markup? finger-text) > finger-text > (fingering::calc-text grob)))) > c4\thumb > } > > Cheers, > Neil Of course it differs from the answer I had while simply asking about thumb and 'avoid-slur, but the overall goal is to make \thumb behave like other fingerings, isn't it? ;D Cheers (and many thanks to all of you), Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
