Hello all,

Thanks for the pointers and explanations. 

I thought there might be a specific way to indicate a scordatura, and it turns 
out there are many possible ways, including providing a second scores with the 
actual pitches or a staff fragment showing the various string pitches 
vertically:



It would be nice to add the string number at the left of the notes, in case 
only some strings are tuned differently than usual.

\version "2.19.80"

\header {
  title = "Guitar tunings"
}

\relative c {
  \omit Staff.TimeSignature
  \hide Stem
  \mark "EADGBE"
  < e a d g b e >
}

\relative c {
  \omit Staff.TimeSignature
  \hide Stem
  \mark "DADGAD"
  < d a d' g a d >
}
