Hi all, I am trying to separate musical content (especially pitch and rhythm) from other pieces of information (such as fingering instructions). I’m aware of the existence of the edition-engraver and Gilles Thibault’s \addFingering function (http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=768) but I actually prefer to use separate “ghost voices” (voices containing spacer rests).
I discovered that it is possible to attach fretting hand information to spacer rests and align their horizontal and vertical position as follows: %%%% \version "2.21.0" fretHand = { s1-\tweak X-offset #-1.5 -\tweak Y-offset #1 -0 } music = { e''1 } \score { \new Staff << \new Voice { \music } \new Voice { \fretHand } >> } %%%% On the other hand it doesn’t seem possible to attach and align "right hand finger” information to spacer rests?! %%%% \version "2.21.0" music = { e''4 e'' e'' e'' } #(define BH rightHandFinger) bridgeHand = { s4-\BH #4 %s4-\finger "a" %s4^\markup "a" %s4-\tweak X-offset #0 -\tweak Y-offset #3 ^"a" } \score { \new Staff << \new Voice { \music } \new Voice { \bridgeHand } >> } %%%% But maybe there are better or more elegant solutions to this problem? Thanks for any hint! Sylvius _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
