The problem here is that this is indeed not really as much a tablature as a fingering chart. The information is incomplete. Now the information is less incomplete for a fiddler than a classical violinist since classical violinists tend to change positions quite more often in order not to break a phrase across strings. Fiddling tends to put quite less emphasis on legato play, and the characteristically short notes don't expose gratuitous string changes as much. So the question is just what sort of incomplete information a fiddler would be comfortable with if a chart is basically only reflecting the fingering. It's easy to teach LilyPond to print such a tab if you write the fingering and string information for each note explicitly, but you'd probably die from exasperation if you had to do so. So the question is just how one can most economically provide LilyPond with the information it needs for completing a tab. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
