I wonder that \set TabStaff.restrainOpenStrings = ##t is not enough to really avoid open strings? It only works together with \set TabStaff.minimumFret = #1 I can live with this need of this aditional line, but I find the logik is questionable. Is that done by will? Regards

If one interprets the text of the manual the line \set TabStaff.restrainOpenStrings = ##t powers up the not really perfect working \set TabStaff.minimumFret = #1 to work as one would expect by simply interpreting the text implies. But that does not depreciate the basic question about the logik.

I read the manual. But please answer the question WHY should lilypond statements not do what the statement text straight implies? Obviously you have not read my postings, as I have 1. pointed out that I can handle the "contradictories" 2. quotation: "So simply let me annul my question."

I try an explanation again: If a user says \set TabStaff.minimumFret = #5 I would expect that LP obeys and just uses no frets closer to the nut tha five. As you wrote, LP is unobedient and uses open strings against that imperative TabStaff.minimumFret = #5 ? On the other extreme if one sets

I think the issue here is that David K has read the documentation (the NR, section 2.4.1) but BB probably hasn't, and is trying to guess what a lilypond command does from its name. This is always likely to be problematical. -- Phil Holmes - Original Message - From: BB To:
