Hi Hraban
I wouldn't use MetaPost at all (because I can't) but use LilyPond's great possibilities... (Never tried fret diagrams with the LilyPond module, but it should work.)
I thought about it, and i have two objections (maybe, false ones) against using Lily:
1) Recently we concluded that on-the-fly insertion of Lilypond images does not work.
2) Generation of dozens of stand alone chords requires dozens of calls to lilypond, and, thus, terrifically slow.
Am I right with this? -- Best Regards, Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
