Anything anyone wants to tell me about better slicker more elegant ways
of doing the same things would be awesome.
I'm attaching the lilypond file for Let Him Roll, a Guy Clark talking
blues. He essential plays the same thing over and over. What I've got
covers the main two variations.
I couldn't find anything that covered hammering and pulling with H and P
either under or over the tab or on the slur line, so just followed the
suggestion to use an appoggiatura for a hammer for something that
switched notes on the beat, and a grace notey sort of thing for a quick
hammer that just borrowed a bit from the beginning of the note for the
original note before the hammer.
I'm not sure how you would know the difference between a hammer and a pull.
You'll see my attempt to put H at appropriate places doesn't work.
Apparently a TabStaff is missing whatever engraver would put them in? I
can put them in the regular staff, and it works, tucking them under the
Chords, but it's not at all what I want. Help!!!;)
