Hi Tina,
I've got the score working with this code :
\version "2.25.28"
\language "english"
\header {
title = "Riff test"
composer = "Nelly"
}
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "a4landscape")
}
nomidiBend =
#(define-music-function (main bend) (ly:music? ly:music?)
#{
\afterGrace 1/2
{ \tag nomidi <> \^ #main }
\tag nomidi { \hideNotes #bend \undo\hideNotes }
#})
global = {
\time 4/4
\key c \major
}
electricGuitar = \relative c' {
\override NoteHead.extra-spacing-width = #'(-2 . 2)
\tempo 4 = 90
\unHideNotes
\tuplet 3/2 { \nomidiBend d8\^\3 e\3 e\2 a\1 }
\tuplet 3/2 { \nomidiBend c\^\1 cqs\3 a e\2 }
\tuplet 3/2 { \nomidiBend g\^\2 a\1 a\1 e\2 }
\tuplet 3/2 { d\3 c\3 a\4s }
\unHideNotes
}
\score {
\new StaffGroup \with {
\consists "Instrument_name_engraver"
instrumentName = "Electric guitar"
} <<
\new Staff \with {
midiInstrument = "overdriven guitar"
\override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep 2)
} { \clef "treble_8" \electricGuitar }
\new TabStaff \with {
stringTunings = #guitar-tuning
} \electricGuitar
>>
\layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 25)
\omit StringNumber
}
\midi {
\removeWithTag nomidi
\tempo 4=90
}
}
But the midi is still outputting the gracenotes. Any ideas?
