Re: Guitar tab string numbers
Ciao Federico,
Thanks, I've since found that using TabStaff.minimumFret helps reduce the
need to define string numbers. I've also discovered some unexpected
behaviour in the tab string numbering (though this may be because I'm using
developmental version 2.13.17). It seems that its neccessary to indicate all
(or none) of the string numbers in a chord. In the example below, the g and
b should be open strings in the tab.
\version "2.13.17"
music = \relative c { }
\score { <<
\new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
\music
}
\new TabStaff {
\music
}
}
Regards,
Phil Burfitt

Hello List,
How can I define the string numbers of the notes of a chord in guitar TAB
without the string numbers appearing in the standard notation?
ie. string numbers for tab notation can be defined b\3 or \3 and
string
numbers for tab and standard notation can be defined but when I
need
to define string numbers in a chord for tab but NOT standard
notation, is there a way without resorting to \override StringNumber
#'transparent = ##t
I don't think there's a different way to accomplish that.

Yes, it's a very useful feature! The advantage is that you could also
define some string numbers to show up in normal notation.
I've also discovered some unexpected behaviour in the tab string
numbering (though this may be because I'm using developmental
version 2.13.17). It seems that its neccessary to indicate all (or
none) of the string numbers in a chord. In the example below, the g
and b should be open strings in the tab.
It's got nothing to do with developmental versions and it's not a
bug! In your example you have to define the string numbers for g and
b in order to get open strings in the tab because otherwise LP
automatically calculates the fret numbers (AFAIK) within a range of 4
frets. So in your case LP assumes that you'd like to play in fourth
position.
Hope this helps

Perhaps this could be an enhancement request for the note-to-fret-function. A simple example showing two chords (one with all strings indicated, and one with no strings indicated) could be added to the tracker, and might get worked on in the future (although it may be very difficult to implement this).

tempo commands not in learning manual
Something so fundamental as tempo should be clearly explained somewhere easy to find in the documentation, and it seems to be difficult to find at all in the learning manual (looking at 2.12 documentation and briefly at 2.13). In my view this is something fundamental enough to be in most pieces and should maybe be included in section 2 of the learning manual, either alongside Adding Text (maybe change this section to Adding Text and Tempo Marks), or perhapsAdvanced Rhythmic Commands (although it's not exactly advanced). I remember having trouble finding this documentation in the past and it looks like the situation hasn't been addressed yet. I think this could help new users if all the fundamentals are all right there, easy to find.
