Hi,
I am using Lilypond for writing guitar tablature, and sometimes open
or special tunings are used (e.g. DADGAD). I know how to specify the
tuning in Lilypond using \stringTuning <d, a, d g a d'>, so the tablature
comes out nice and correct.
What I would like to know is whether it is possible to give the tuning
notes right before the first Tabstaff, vertically aligned to the tablature
lines. I tried accomplish this using "instrumentName", but it does not
align nicely:
\score
{
<<
\new TabStaff \with {
\override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\override InstrumentName.font-size = #-1.5
instrumentName = \markup \right-column {
"d" "b" "g" "D" "A" "D"
}
} {
\set TabStaff.stringTunings = \stringTuning <d, a, d g a d'>
{d,8\6 d'\2 d\4 d'\1 d,8\6 d'\2 d4\4 } }
}
Any help is appreciated, many thanks -
Stefan
