Hello, I am new to this list and have been lurking for a while. I am a computer programmer and a musician and I play the Chapman Stick (http://www.stick.com/). Please accept my apologies if this question has been covered.
There is a newer notation system for the Stick that beautifully combines tablature and normal staves into an elegant sytem of notation. It is called StaffTab and here is a page with a sample: (http://www.stick.com/instruction/books/stickbook/sample/). I have looked in the LilyPond list archives and I haven't found anything on this system. I would like to be able to use LilyPond for this notation and I am wondering where to start. The main features of the notation are custom notehead shapes, string indicators, and numbers above and below the staves to indicate fret numbers. There is already an open-source font that contains these elements that can be found here: (http://www.arthurdurkee.net/stickfonts.html). How would I start to be able to do this? Any help would be appreciated. -Eric _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
