This is quite easy. You just make a fret diagram with a specified number of frets and a specified number of strings, with all the strings open. You then need to set the open-string indicator to " ".
Here's a sample: %% start of cut and paste code \version "2.11.64" \storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode{c''} #guitar-tuning #"o;o;o;o;o;o;" << \new FretBoards { \override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'open-string = #" " \override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'fret-count = #6 \chordmode { \repeat unfold 10 { c''1} } } \context Staff { \repeat unfold 10 {s1} } >> %% end of cut and paste code \version "2.12.3" \include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly" \include "english.ly" \addChordShape #'NoTriad #guitar-tuning #'( (place-fret 6 0 " ") (place-fret 5 0 " ") (place-fret 4 0 " ") (place-fret 3 0 " ") (place-fret 2 0 " ") (place-fret 1 0 " ") ) \storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode{ c'' } #guitar-tuning #(chord-shape 'NoTriad guitar-tuning) << \new FretBoards { \override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'open-string = #" " \override FretBoard #'fret-diagram-details #'fret-count = #6 \chordmode { \repeat unfold 10 {c''1} } } \context Staff { \repeat unfold 10 {s1} } >> I saw this post about how to create empty fret diagrams but it didn't work for me it produced 10 C major chords. So I modified it to get it to work Thanks and hope this helps someone else... -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-create-empty-fret-diagrams-tp32255312p32255312.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
