Re: Aligning a tempo marking with a note

The markings that have been discussed relate either to "dynamic" (e.g. "mf" or "dim.), or to tempo (e.g. "Allegro", rit."). They also indicate either a state ("mf", "Allegro") or a continuous change ("dim.", "rit."). Both "mf" and "Allegro" could apply to a whole piece lasting, say, half an

Re: guitar scale diagram - change root

Hi Bart, yes, that's no problem. In the attached file, I've added a parameter "start". It's an integer to indicate the tone number to start with, i.e. 1 for the root etc. This might be a start. Recently, there has been another thread that might be interesting for you as well:

Hi Simon, thank you for that, I think this is really helpful. I think I see a pattern. This doesn't *completely* explain everything but quite a lot. Obviously the decision depends on whethere there are none, one or more notes outside the staff (outside in this context beginning with the notehead
