Hi Nick, IIRC #-6 is the default for fingering numbers. Have you tried e.g. #- 8? Works here! Thomas P.S.: OT: Shouldn't this dance be notated in 2/2 (Alla breve)? It is quite slow in your version. :-) ___ lilypond-user mailing list

Risto, Graham These functions will work fine for any time signature and beam duration for which there are no beam-ending rules defined in scm/auto-beam.scm. But if beam-ending rules exist they take priority over beatGrouping. This is why you find 12/8 grouping is messed up, Risto. (Although a

Nick The default font-size for Fingering is -5 (see the IR), so 0 will be almost twice as large, as you have found. To reduce it, try -7 or -8. (You'd hardly notice the difference at -6.) Trevor - Original Message - From: Nick Payne [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Sent:

I have been trying to slightly reduce the font size for guitar fingering, as the default size of number touch when adjacent notes in a chord have fingering, as in the attached file. However, I can't get the numbers any smaller than the default. If I use \override Fingering #'font-size = #0 Then

Thanks, you're right. For some reason, I had the idea that I was limited to using values between 6 and -6. Going back and reading the doc again there's no mention of that, so I don't know why or where I get it from. As for 2/2, the couple of publications I've seen it in have notated it as 4/4,

Well, I've found that if I reverse the order in which the pitches appear in the chord, the problem is solved. i.e. in bar 6 of the treble voice in my score, if I have a-3 cs-4 e then the fingering indication for A is obscured by the c-sharp accidental, whereas if I have e cs-4 a-3 then there

This accidental/fingering collision appears to be a bug, so I'm copying to the bug list. I can't find a similar bug in the bug DB. The collision occurs only when the chord is the first chord/note in the bar, and the fingered note precedes the sharpened note in that chord. Here's a short
