Please see code below. My requested placement of LH fingering and
string number to the LEFT of the relevant note is being respected on
in chord constructs. Also, outside of chords, I'm not getting
requested string number indications at all. In a polyphonic score like
this, the result is utter chaos. It's unplayable nonsense.
I've poured over the code last night, and tonight, and I still don't
see the problem.
I should mention that this score is my first for separating the voices
so strongly. Until now, I've been doing small number of measures at a
time, like this -
<<
{ }\\
{ }\\
{ ]
>>
and have obtained reliable results with LH fingering and string number
indications.
Somehow I'm now in foreign territory, and I cannot yet see what's
different that's causing the problem I'm having.
Anyone have any suggestions? (Am running on Kubuntu Linux 8.04.1)
Thanks very much for any help offered!
Tom
