Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how to override the
default numbering format for string numbers
(default is circled arabic numbers) and use roman
numerals instead.
An example would be something like this:
{ e''\2 } which is an e played on the second
string. The default shows a circled 2 above the
staff. I would like to show a roman numeral II
instead, so there is no confusion between string
and fingering indications. Since roman numerals for
strings are a common convention, i am guessing
there is a setting in lilypond for it that I havent
found.
What i have learned so far is that the StringNumber
is written by the New fingering engraver and has
both a stencil and text property, but i have not
been able to figure out how to change them to roman
numerals.
I've never seen Roman numerals used for string numbers - they are
usually used for position (fret number) indications. The majority of
commercially engraved guitar scores I have use Roman numerals for
position and barre indications, and I can't recall any that have used
Roman numerals for string numbers.
