I tried to position the dot as in the picture, but it seems the
Dots_engraver only accepts integers.
\once \override Dots.staff-position = #'-4 is too high, -5 too close
to the beam.
cheers
Currently LilyPond warrants a Dot is never printed on a staff-line.
This holds even if the Dot is above/below top/bottom staff-line (in a
standard Staff there would be ledger lines to avoid).
You could circumvent this limitation by some esoteric code (not posted
here) or simply use extra-offset.
That said, its not the first time such a request pops up. For standard
staves style-sheets are possible to warrant a certain user-defined
output, different from default.
Why not do the same for tablature? I already did some steps in this
direction before.
Alas, I never got sufficient info about how to style what.
Consider:
\new TabStaff \with { \tabFullNotation }
{
\time 6/16
b8. 8.
\time 3/2
1.
\time 2/4
4. 8
8. 16
16 8.
\time 6/16
r8. 8.
\time 3/2
r1.
\time 2/4
r4. r8
r8. r16
r16 r8.
}
Where to place the dots (for all those cases)?
Stems: Always down? Which length, same length beamed/unbeamed? How to
deal with polyphonic situations?
How to distinguish whole and half notes?
etc.
Cheers,
Harm
Hi Harm,
It's the first time I'm trying to produce a considerable amount of
tabulature so I don't know whether the style I submitted earlier is
'the norm' for a lot of guitar pieces, but I understand from you that
this has no 'standard' option in Lilypond's settings.
The intention was to get all stems down (trivial) but all extending
the same amount below the line for the sixth string, and the dots at
the bottom of the stem, but above the beam if any.
I guess it will need a lot of tweaking then.
Glad that for every 1/4 count I made separate snippets that will be
reusable further in the piece.
thanks for your teachings,
harry
