Hello,
I have been looking for a long time for a way to automatically annotate
slide positions or fingerings for brass instruments below or above the
notes. There have been one or two requests for this, but never a
complete solution, at least the oracle of Google has not been able to
tell me anything wise.
I can't program and have now tried to put together a suitable function
with ChatGPT. Unfortunately this does not work. Here is the code ChatGPT
came up with, maybe it is complete nonsense:
\version "2.22.1"
% Define the function for adding trumpet fingerings
#(define (add-trumpet-fingerings layout props)
(define fingerings-alist
'((c4 . "1")
(d4 . "2")
(e4 . "1+2")
; Add more note-fingering pairs here
))
(define (get-fingering pitch)
(cdr (assoc pitch fingerings-alist)))
(define (annotate-note-fingering grob)
(let* ((note (ly:grob-object grob))
(pitch (ly:event-property note 'pitch))
(fingering (get-fingering pitch)))
(when fingering
(ly:note-event-set-property! note 'text
(markup #:center fingering))
grob)))
(ly:context-modify-layout layout 'NoteHead #'stencil
annotate-note-fingering))
% Define a simple melody
melody = {
c4 d4 e4 d4 c4
}
% Create a score
\score {
\new Staff \melody
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override NoteColumn #'layout = #add-trumpet-fingerings
}
}
}
Regards
Andreas
@Devs: For educational purposes, I think fingerings, slide positions,
etc. are pretty important. It would be nice if you could basically
implement something to be able to add default or individual slide
positions, fingerings etc. relatively easily.
