How do I add fingering for chords

2006-11-16 Thread Kevin Dalley
Can I add fingering information for ChordNames when chords are entered using chordmode? Fingering when using staffs might be interesting as well. Since this is for an accordion, a single finger is often sufficient, and I don't need 1 number per note. \version "2.9.19" \include "english.ly" #(set

The nice thing about a wiki is that I can spend 15 minutes improving the one area which I now understand after spending an hour researching. Then, next month, I'll spend another 15 minutes. Pages which are often references tend to get better quickly. I probably won't spend 5 hours writing lilypo

I am almost ready to use a triangle notehead as well, for some alternative notations. Here's of an image of my desired noteheads, which may not match Jamie's and Trevor's desired noteheads: http://web.syr.edu/~pwmorris/mnma/gallery/Twinline.html I don't know anything about LilyPonds's noteheads

Thanks. I missed the upwards-pointing triangle. I should be able to figure out enough metafont to make the triangle point downwards. The upwards pointing triangle isn't listed in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/source/input/regression/collated-files#note-head-style.ly

NoteNames, how do I change language and spacing

I'm using NoteNames for some demos. There are 2 items I want to change. 1. I'm including english.ly, but "as" is output as "ais". Is it possible to change the language? 2. "ais" and "b" are right next to each other. With lyrics, I can change spacing. Is this possible with NoteNames? \versi
