Subject: Y-coordinates don't work in offset function
Dear Lilyponders,
I'm working on a snippet of guitar music for use as "Inspirational
Headword" of the fretted strings section of GDP. The default placement of
fingerings is not very good, so I'm placing them manually but have tried
to create a function to help me. The function is supposed to allow me to
specify X and Y offset for each fingering. The problem is that the Y
offset doesn't work. The X offset works just fine, and it's very close to
what I want, but it would really help to get vertical fine-tuning as well.
I've been searching the documentation and experimenting for two hours with
no luck. A minimal example appears below, including my function (probably
where the problem lies). I've commented out a tweak that does what I want
using extra-offset adjustment, but I couldn't figure out how to use
extra-offset in the function (I'm very new at this, clearly...).
If anyone can point out my error and a solution I'd be most grateful.
Best,
Jonathan
