This sounds great! Unfortunately this thread got broken some days ago. Harm already sketched a first automated solution (see http://osdir.com/ml/lilypond-user-gnu/2015-05/msg00565.html). It shows a problematic area of implementing the approach “Any time two strings have the same finger, they could be part of a barre": transposing chords with open strings. > > A feature request has been added as Issue #4409. > https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4409 Thank you for the wonderful fret diagram code and for adding this feature request! patrick _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
