Fwd: list of accordion registers as a single markup

Hi! I need to obtain a list of accordion registers. I know I can engrave them using: #(use-modules (scm accreg)) \markup \line { \discant "1" \discant "10" \discant "101" \discant "121" \discant "21" \discant "11" \discant "120" \discant "110" \discant "1+0" \discant "100" \discant "11+0" }

Re: Using circles in \tabFullNotation

Sorry, this line:     \override Stem.Y-extent = #grob::always-Y-extent-from-stencil should have been commented out. Also, I now believe that the behavior of X-offset here is a bug: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2021-01/msg00014.html Jean
