you're right, much better
Thank you for giving the new tablature features a try!
Thanks to you for freeing the tab numbers from stems' slavery ;-).
The clef moderntab works fine as well (I found out that - to make it
working -I should put the code \clef moderntab in both voices of my
staff).
Just a question:
which effects are supported by the tablature? I mean slide,
hammer/pulloff, acciaccatura/appoggiatura..
As far as I can see, glissando (=slide) is supported. (of course, also
dead notes and palm mute).
What about the others?
For examples, I've tried the slurs to get hammer-on/pull-off but
nothing is shown on the tablature. I'm doing something wrong or this
feature is still missing?
I would guess the second, as I can't see any other effects in your
tablature-test.pdf...can you confirm it?
Yes, I simply made slurs invisible - we have to provide commands for
hammer-on/pull-off and bendings, but that seems to be more
complicated.
Anyway, thanks for your nice job! I'm very happy to have stumbled upon
this great software.
I should thank Tuxguitar version 1.1, whose double voicing support
encouraged me to leave some tab freeware/shareware and just use Free
Software.
I couldn't imagine Lilypond was so cool. A good tablature support
would be wonderful, I'll do my best to help testing..
Great! Welcome on board!

I went through the doc but I couldn't find the right page.

Hi Federico,
It's failing to compile (at least on my end) because you have an
undefined variable \tabNumbersOnly, which from what I can gather is
something in an \include file. I found the reference to it, as well as
the include file code, in an archived mailing list posting, and when I
included this file, the score compiled but I got a blank tabStaff.
Anyhow, if you get ride of the \tabNumbersOnly command then it should
compile. I believe this tablature.ly file is something that's in
development and not quite into the latest Lilypond source files yet.
I'm running Lilypond straight from the source files and it didn't find
tablature.ly when I tried to include it. I had to create the file
myself.
HTH,
Jon

Hi Federico,

development and not quite into the latest Lilypond source files yet.
I'm running Lilypond straight from the source files and it didn't find
tablature.ly when I tried to include it. I had to create the file
myself.
I posted this file to the list today for testing purposes, so it will
eventually become part
of one of the next releases.
Anyway, when you delete the \tabNumbersOnly, I doesn't compile right
here with version 2.13.0
(with and without including tablature.ly). It puts the TabStaff notes in
the normal staff, therefore
all notes are doubled and the tab staff is empty.
So the error has nothing to do with the tablature.ly file.
A possible solution would be to use different voices, like this:
\version 2.13.0
\include tablature.ly
upper = \relative c {
\time 4/4
\key g \major
d g4 d g8 e a f b4 g4
}
lower = \relative c {
\time 4/4
\key g \major
g2 g
}
\score {
\new Staff = guitar
\context Voice = upper guitar { \clef G_8 \voiceOne \upper }
\context Voice = lower guitar { \clef G_8 \voiceTwo
\lower }
\new TabStaff = tab
\context TabVoice = upper tab { \clef tab \voiceOne \upper }
\context TabVoice = lower tab { \clef tab \voiceTwo \lower }
}
This looks fine without giving any error messages.
When you include tablature.ly, make sure to get the version I posted today.
You don't have to write \tabNumbersOnly explicitly, this is the default
when including
the file.
As I have written some guitar music in lilypond, I find it easier to do
so with seperate
voices for upper and lower notes. It's easier to read and to correct,
and all the
{ } \\ { } stuff can get really annoying when you code more than a
few bars.
Thank you for giving the new tablature features a try!
