Hi Bertalan, I'm having trouble getting the Virtual Piano to work for me: - I can hear notes that are played with mouse clicks or keyboard strokes, but they are not inserted in my .ly file - the Virtual Piano does not seem to recognize MIDI keyboard strokes Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

In 30 years of playing guitar (jazz and rock), I have never seen this notation. Is there an example on the Web you can point to? I'd be interested in seeing how it's used. Ummm, I'll look on the web to see if I can fine something. However, what I'm reading from is the Guitar Repertoire

You can rotate objects and markups. I've done a little experiment here that doesn't look very good yet but may put you on the right track. Search the Notation Reference manual for rotation, formatting text, positioning objects, and the like. \version "2.13.4" \relative c'' {

When writing the fingering for guitar, there is a notation used to indicate a guide finger in left-hand shifting.
