Hi all, LilyPond’s automatic fret diagrams really are a very helpful feature! More often than not it helps to not having to predefine and store a diagram in a lookup table. But it has one little drawback: it doesn’t automatically include a barre indication when several strings are to be covered by one finger. The default diagram actually looks a bit as if six fingers were needed to play this chord (see example).
\version "2.19.15" { \new FretBoards { <f,-1 c-3 f-4 a-2 c'-1 f'-1> } } I have had a look at the \override options of the FretBoard and many details are customizable but of course it’s not possible to override a barre indication that isn’t there. Now, is there a known way to (manually) add barre indications to automatic fret diagrams or do I have to use predefined fret diagrams for barre chords in general? tia patrick _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
