Okay, I updated my version of lilypond and it is almost perfect. Thank
you!
Here is the main problem I see now. Lilypond favors the higher strings.
Thus, lilypond will try to put the melody on the first string (which is
the top string in the tablature). But, for dulcimer tablature, the
strings are generally numbered in reverse order. Thus, if we keep the
string labeled 1, 2, 3 then I want string 3 (the melody string) favored
instead of string 1. This can be solved by manually telling lilypond
which string to use, but that is a bit of a pain.
I put my snippet below to illustrate this. The first two measures are
what I want (and did by manually entering the string number), the next two
measures are what is generated automatically by lilypond.
Thanks!
