Re: Left-handed fretboard?

I just jumped into that thread and will give my 2 cent: I know violine- and guitar- and bass-teachers that have a large mirror in the teaching room for the leftys. I have nothing against special coding if developers find it worth the time. But a mirror is a cheap, fast and easy solution.

Ah, yes, when in landscape mode, setting a negative string-distance makes the whole diagram flip below the baseline. Oh dear, another effect (in general): capo numbers and other objects that should be placed in the margin of the diagram. When setting a negative string-distance, they flip inside

Re: Left-handed fretboard?

Indeed, Karlin, you are perfectly right - thanks for the observation! This is definitely not a Windows problem, it's an unwanted side effect of using negative string distances: The total width (5 times the string distance on a 6 string instrument) has to be increased by the half the line

Ooops, in the image, the #-2 should be a #-1, of course, because #-2 would have doubled the string distance... Sorry, Torsten -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org

Re: Left-handed fretboard?

Hi all, In the more recent developer versions, threre's a surprisingly simple way to reverse the order of strings: just set the string-distance to #-1. ;) This doesn't work in 2.18.2, though. \version "2.19.80" \include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly" << \new FretBoards { \chordmode {

Hi Carl, I may not be an expert, I've only been playing the guitar for less than a year, but in a couple of methods I've used to learn string 1 is the closest to the floor, the thinnest, the highest pitch, be it right or left-handed. In the opposite the topmost is the thickest one, string 6, the

Hi all, Just a simple question, does anybody know if there is any way to create left-handed fretboard diagrams for guitar and/or ukulele? With FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.orientation I get normal or landscape right-handed fret diagrams. I'm thinking in totally rewriting the predefined
