lilypond mandolin tablature?

2002-08-31 Thread Karl Berry
The `Non-guitar tablatures' node in the lilypond 1.6.0 manual says: First you can change the number of strings, by setting the number of lines in the *note (lilypond-internals)TabStaff:: . You can change the strings tuning. A string tuning is given as a Scheme list with one in

The above example shows you how to set the TabStaff to four strings, tuned as you asked. Thank you very much for this. However, I can't get it to work :(. For starters, I told you the wrong notation for the tuning. Mandolin tuning, like violin, is GDAE from the G below middle C (top sp

lilypond bar numbers, string choosing?

Thanks for all the help -- if anyone is interested in the bass line of Bach's bourree in e minor transposed for mandolin, let me know :). I do have two more questions, one minor, one major, so to speak: 1) is it really true that bar numbers cannot printed on every bar (so says node `Bar numbe

blank paper?

2002-09-04 Thread Karl Berry
Here's another simple (I hope) question to which I don't see the answer in the manual ... How to tell lilypond to generate a blank sheet of music paper? (With tablature on the bottom, rather than two regular staves, if that makes a difference.) Thanks, karl

accidentals above the staff?

2002-09-11 Thread Karl Berry
Is it possible to force typesetting an accidental above the staff, instead of on the notes? On an accidental-by-accidental basis rather than for a whole piece. This is common in pre-baroque pieces when most accidentals were left out of the score because every performer knew what to do; modern ed

These are not really bugs, all up for interpretation, so I thought I'd write here ... I wanted to give a url about simple Lilypond input to the prototypical naive user (my mom, who is a musician but not a programmer). I start at http://lilypond.org/website/manuals.html. It says: Text input: Li

Patches are always welcomed, but I do not know if anyone is interested in hacking on the current php code to add such a feature. Right, I'm not exactly "interested", but if that single feature makes the difference between lilypond moving to savannah or , I'd at least try to look at it. Of
