To be more precise, 'x' is the sign for the 5th finger _and_ will be returned for all finger-numbers > 5 see: 'stroke-finger::calc-text' in output-lib.scm > > >> But although perhaps not so common the fifth finger is used (with the >> letter 'c'): >> >> 1 = p = pulgar, 2 = i = índice, 3 = m = mayor, 4 = a = >> anular, 5 = c = chiquito >> > > I slightly disagree. > In printed editions I've found: 'c', 'x', 'e' and even 'μ' (from a greek > editor) > LilyPond should default to the most common usage, imho. > > Though, I've no clue which that might be. > Speaking only for me, I most often see 'x', but that's only me. > > > Even though I havn't seen anything else besides pima, I think your point > about completeness is right and c is better than x. > Do you have a reference for that?

IMHO, LilyPond should default to the most common _and_ should offer an easy to manage way to change the default behaviour. The former might be done by a poll on the user-list. The latter is already in place: \relative c { \clef "treble_8" \override StrokeFinger.digit-names = ##("p" "i" "m" "a" "c") c4\rightHandFinger #1 e\rightHandFinger #2 g\rightHandFinger #3 c\rightHandFinger #4 e1\rightHandFinger #5 <c,\rightHandFinger #1 e\rightHandFinger #2 g\rightHandFinger #3 c\rightHandFinger #4 e\rightHandFinger #5 >1 } Thinking further about use cases, or better how to abuse, I redefined 'stroke-finger::calc-text' Now more signs for fingers may be recognized. #(define (stroke-finger::custom-calc-text grob) (let* ((event (event-cause grob)) (digit-names (ly:grob-property grob 'digit-names)) (digit-names-length (vector-length digit-names)) (digit-event (ly:event-property event 'digit)) (text-event (ly:event-property event 'text #f))) (or text-event (vector-ref digit-names (1- (max 1 (min digit-names-length digit-event))))))) \relative c { \clef "treble_8" \override StrokeFinger.text =#stroke-finger::custom-calc-text \override StrokeFinger.digit-names = %##("p" "i" "m" "a" "c" "q") #(vector "p" "i" "m" "a" "c" (markup #:with-color red "remark")) c4\rightHandFinger #1 e\rightHandFinger #2 g\rightHandFinger #3 c\rightHandFinger #4 e2\rightHandFinger #5 g\rightHandFinger #6 <c,,\rightHandFinger #1 e\rightHandFinger #2 g\rightHandFinger #3 c\rightHandFinger #4 e\rightHandFinger #5 g\rightHandFinger #6 >1 } Cheers, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
