removing naturals

2009-07-06 Thread Peter Buhr
The following is a left-hand octave-exercise for guitar. It has no tempo. I do not want the natural symbols to appear in the exercise. I used "Staff.extraNatural = ##f" is an attempt to eliminate the naturals as per the instructions on page 6 of the Notation Reference manual, but that did not help

guitar guide-mark

2009-07-15 Thread Peter Buhr
When writing the fingering for guitar, there is a notation used to indicate a guide finger in left-hand shifting. The fingering mark looks like "-3", but the "-" is rotated up about 30 degrees, which means to silently slide the 3rd finger from its previous position to this marked note on the same s

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'' {

stretched note stem

Below is a simple E major scale. I don't want lilypond to stretch the stems of the lower notes up to the B staff line. I want all the note-stems to be the same length for both stemUp and stemDown notes. Is there an option to turn off the stem stretching? \version "2.13.3" \include "english.ly" #(
