Allright, you guys have me thinking about automating all this in PMX. (Meanwhile use \zcharnote..\ or D ).
Here are some considerations, for your comment: 1. I may be able to adapt the algorithm used for placing accidentals to work for fingerings too. This would assume the default position is to the left of the notehead. This can get very complicated in chords with 2nds, maybe even with 3rds, if the digits cannot just be stacked; you need to store the outline of each character to determine how much lateral shift is needed to avoid collisions. 2. What font specification? Must scale with \musicsize. 3. Printed characters? single digits, 2 closely spaced digits with a tie above them. Any others? 4. Syntax? Start out parallel to accidentals, i.e., subcommand to note name. Can't use d, f, D, or F. The best I can think of is "G" (for guitar). Then one or two digits (but see item #5). Second consecutive digit always taken as second part of printed pair, not any other interpretation of digits that can be used in note names. So cG24 would not mean a quarter note with finger 2, it would be a note with inherited duration and a tied pair of numbers. 5. Position modifiers (with +/-") would have to come before the finger digits, othersise +/- could be confused with something else. They would then need a terminator ":" to signal when the finger digits start. Should position modifiers be relative to default position or to center of notehead, or somewhere else? Does vertical position need any finer resolution than 1 \internote? Should there be a separate modifier to change default position to above or below? Change of default position could either be global or local. --Don Simons > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of David Raleigh Arnold > Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 1:56 PM > To: Joerg Anders > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [TeX-music] fingering in MusiXTeX ? > > > > On Thu, 05 Sep 2002 10:07:05 Joerg Anders wrote: > > Hi all! > > > > I didn't find anything about fingering in MuxiXTeX documentation. > > I saw an example there somebody placed numbers above the > > staff.
