What aspects do you have in mind? In the Regression Test document, you can find an example "key-signature-scordatura.ly" that shows how to typeset a non-standard key signature, which often appears in scordatura scores. For the actual string tuning, I guess there are many different notational conve

The duration of the skips is handled exactly as the duration of ordinary notes. If you insert some bar checks, you will see that the durations are probably not what you want: dynamics = { s\mf s4. | \setTextCresc s\< | s2 | s4\f s\> s4\! } Since the last duration specified above the dynamics is

Of course you can fool LilyPond into beleiving that two words should be treated like a single syllable. Either enclose them within double quotes: "two words" or use the fact the a single underline is printed like a space: two_words /Mats Stephen Torri wrote: On Tue, 2005-12-13 at 23:43 -0500
