Hi, I was wondering if there's an easy way to insert Fret Diagrams for guitar in Lilypond. Most of the time I use templates from Frescobaldi, but I don't see an Fret Diagram option there. I like to display the fret diagram and the chord name above it. Thanks in advance, \r _

Dear Kieren, dear community, I think, I could make a succes: I moved the Time_signature_engraver from the staff-context and the Text_spanner_engraver from the Voice-Context and put them both into the Score-Context. Now I can see the Time-Signature where I need it, as well as the line for the ritard

Dear Kieren, I've provided a new (musically senseless) example. What makes me wondering: How it is possible, that the Metronome-mark is shown only in the top-staff?

Of course! Duh! \version "2.12.0" \paper { ragged-right = ##f } \relative c'' { \override TupletNumber #'text = "M2" \times 2/2 { c4 d } } As you can see, you need to abuse the layout a bit to make sure the bracket gets printed. TupletBracket supports #'minimum-length, though, so you don't
