Hello, > I only use Lilypond for 2 days. But I encountered an issue - the notes on > the staff don't match with those on the guitar tab. > > To illustrate this issue, please see the screenshot below.

Does anyone one know how to solve this? My lilypond version > is 2.18.2. Also, my code is below. Lilypond gets it right. The problem is that the guitar is written in treble clef, but an octave higher than it actually sounds. (It's the same practice as with the tenor voice, for instance.) And another problem is that most people don't bother to show this in any way in the scores, so there can be some confusion over it. Just use \clef "treble_8" (or \clef "G_8") instead of \clef "treble". Lilypond will put a small "8" under the clef (which is the good way to notate this) and everything will be OK.
