Have a look at the message I posted yesterday titled "Colliding rests
warning". The code I included in that shows how to move the string number
markup to underneath the clef symbol:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg45134.html.
You could also engrave both actual notes and scordatura. As a player I find
that easier when the scordatura involves two or three strings - I don't have
to keep remembering which strings and by how much. It's obviously more work
for the engraver, though. eg:
\version "2.12.2"
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "a4")
top-margin = 1.5\cm
bottom-margin = 1.5\cm
line-width = 18\cm
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}
\header {
tagline = ##f
}
actual = \markup {
\lower #0.5
\score {
\new Staff \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
} {
\set Staff.instrumentName= \markup \huge "(actual) "
\clef treble \cadenzaOn
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
<d a d' a' d'' f''>4 s \bar "dashed"
}
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
indent = 1\cm
}
}
\hspace #.5
}
scordatura = \markup {
\lower #1.0
\score {
\new Staff \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
} {
\set Staff.instrumentName= \markup \tiny
"(scordatura) "
\clef treble \cadenzaOn
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
<d a d' g' b' e''>4 s \bar "dashed"
}
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
indent = 1\cm
}
}
\hspace #.5
}
actualnotes = \relative c' {
\clef treble
d,8( f) bes d <a' d>4
\bar "|."
}
scordaturanotes = \relative c' {
\clef treble
d,8( f-3) bes-1 d-0 <g-0 b!-0>4
\bar "|."
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff <<
\tempo "Moderato"
\set Staff.instrumentName = \actual
\new Voice \actualnotes
>>
\new Staff <<
\set Staff.instrumentName = \scordatura
\new Voice \scordaturanotes
>>
>>
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
indent = 5\cm
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
}
}
