\version "2.8.8" on Suse Linux 10 I have been making beautiful copies of classical guitar music for my 8 string guitar. Everything works fine as long as I can copy a template such as \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t s4*8
And this works for string number spacing if I enter them as text \once \override TextScript #'staff-padding = #3.0 b4^"2" e a2-3 But the numbers are twice as large as default string numbers. However, when I try changing variables on my own nothing works. This is one of my numerous failures \once \override StringNumberOrientations #' Stringnumber = down <g\6>4-1 fis e <d\7> How do I set fingeringOrientation (up,down,left.right) StringNumberOrientations (up, down) StringNumber #'staff-padding = #2.0 fingerNumber #'staff-padding Someday this will all make sense.
