Re: Guitar Chord Fret Diagram - T above string fretted with thumb

Hi Tone, that's not a big problem: You can insert another markup above the fingering chart. Its contents is passed as another parameter. If the thumb isn't used, just pass an empty string instead of a T. Cheers, Klaus %-

Re: Guitar Fret Diagram - scale degree below string

Hi tone, welcome to the forum! :-) The most elegant solution would be to take fret-diagrams.scm and use it to build a modified fretboard command that accepts markup for fingerings. But as I'm not an expert, this is out of reach for me. Anyway, I've played around with explicit positioning of

Peter Selinger wrote your code snippet does not work correctly if some of the rests are dotted (see attached for the output). It's a bit of a mystery to me why this happens. Hi Peter, hmmm... I didn't think of this. It's no mystery, it's the Dot_column_engraver who makes sure that both dots

Hi David, you could start a new voice like this: \new Voice % add this line... \leadVoice but this will lead to new problems: an additional slur and warnings about colliding note columns. Overriding the notehead size will always work for the entire chord. That's why only the tweak will
