Hi all, being a professional guitarist I always missed a possibility to use a barré-sign which fits all needs. Ofcourse, one can find several codings here on the list, in LSR, I have some own as well. All are (ab)using spanners like TextSpanner or hijacking other grobs like Arpeggio. Though, we don't have a barre-grob. Well, I thought I could begin to implement such a barre-grob. To do so and to fullfill the claimed "fits all needs" one should follow some basic steps, imho.
(1) Appearance (2) Requirements (3) Coding Ad (1) In printed editions several different barre-signs are in use. Attached you'll find all kinds of barre-signs I'm aware of (rebuilt with LilyPond, don't ask for the code, it's all pure manual). For now I only like to ask if there are other appearances of barre-signs. It would be great if you could post an image, if you find are barre sign not covered by the attached pdf! Thanks, Harm
