I've found that the addition of FretBoard greatly enhances chords and
wanted to congratulate everyone involved.
I also would like the possibility of muted strings in tablature, like
the X in notation that I haven't been able to accomplish so far...

I hope you have noticed that the manual has a separate section on
Guitar related
issues. Also, if you search the mailing list archives, I'm sure you
can find even
more hints related to your questions. If you have any proposals for
additions to the
manual, please read
http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/documentation-adding.
Finally, even if you use version 2.8 for the moment, I recommend you
to take a look
at the latest version of the manual for 2.9. Almost all stuff there is
relevant also for
version 2.8 and it includes lots of improvements and additions.

Hi,
I dont know if I should be saying this in this forum, but I have a
wish list for guitar related stuff. I am just a newbie and still
trying to get a hold of the syntax but I have found some stuff that
is a bit lacking in the guitar arena. Or maybe is not documented
clearly? Maybe this is because guitarists have avoided using lilypond
and thus not enough development (I know you guys are over worked as
it is) I dont know.
But stuff I would like to see in lilypond
Hammer-On's
Pull-Off's
Slides (maybe another way of doing it inside lilypond but I havent
found it)
Tablature related:
I know the chord features inside tab arent great. But would it be
possible to define a tab chord and place it inside tab? For example:
\tabchord Aminor <a:m 6,x 5,0 4,2 3,2 2,1 1,0>
So "Aminor" is the chordname we use for inside the tab
<a:m is the note and major / minor>
6,x 5,0 4,2 3,2 2,1 1,0 is the six strings in the guitar (EADGBE)
6,x (string, fret to be played (x not played 0 is open)
\new TabStaff
{ Aminor:8 Aminor Aminor etc etc}
it may be a bit messy but it seems logical? Maybe?
So I hope this makes sense and please excuse my ignornance if this is
done some other way. I think I might have to get a "LilyPond Guitar
FAQ together" as additional to the tutorial. There are a LOT of
guitarists out there and really this is a far better tool then I have
seen that is for Linux/Win32/Mac environments.
Thoughts and comments?
