Fwd: Intervals below tab/score

[Lee]

Hi

I got what I needed using snippets.  I'd prefer to just write the root note
but I don't have enough knowledge for that.


\version "2.26.0"
\language "english"

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a4landscape")
  % Add space for instrument names
  indent = 35\mm
  short-indent = 35\mm
}

global = {
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  \tempo 4=100
}

electricGuitar = \relative c' {
  \global


 c,8^"R"
 f^"4"
 e^"3"
 d^"2"
 e^"3"


}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup \with {
    systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartSquare
    \consists "Instrument_name_engraver"
    instrumentName = "Electric guitar"
    shortInstrumentName = "Electric guitar"
  } <<
    \new Staff {
      \override TextScript.stencil = ##f
      \transposition c \transpose c c' \electricGuitar }
    \new TabStaff
    \with {

    \revert TextScript.stencil
    \override TextScript.font-series = #'bold
    \override TextScript.font-size = #-3
    \override TextScript.color = #grey

      stringTunings = #guitar-tuning
    } \electricGuitar



  >>
  \layout { }
}

Hi,

I'm trying to get the root/intervals below tab aligned with notes.

 R 4 3 2 3

Is it possible to do this from the root note, for notes in the current
bar?  Or do I need to manually add the markup?

Would appreciate any help.

Nelly
