No, it couldn't. > Why does'nt it do it, that is my question? Because it is not possible to play c (namely C3) on a banjo unless you retune it. > Banjo or Guitar do have 3 octaves available (Ukulele even less), in > three octaves each note exists just one time, so lilypond has the > choice out of only three notes!!

The closest note is a c (c below middle c'). c does not exist on a banjo. > But I found as a result of the responses that this idea is not liked > very much, The idea of just playing a different note than requested? Yes, it would appear that this idea is not liked very much. At least not by me. > so at best let's stop this meaning- and senseless discussion. I don't consider it a discussion since that would require me getting your point. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
