Re: Fingering beneath the note

Hello Martin,

That  method is unusual. Chords are usually noted vertically
in the same order as the notes over the staff. The following
command  should place the fingerin _next_ to each chord. Try
using  _  or  ^  instead of - to decide on which side of the
notes should they placed :


startHorizScript = {
  \property Voice.scriptHorizontal = ##t
  \property Voice.Script \override #'padding = #0.3
  \property Voice.Script \override #'extra-offset = #'(-.6 . 0)
  % Avoid collision with the dots of dotted notes
  \property Voice.Dots \override #'extra-extent-X = #'(-0.7 . 0)
}
endHorizScript = {
  \property Voice.scriptHorizontal \unset
  \property Voice.Dots \revert #'padding
  \property Voice.Script \revert #'padding
  \property Voice.Script \revert #'extra-offset
}


\notes { \startHorizScript <a4-2 c'-1> \endHorizScript }

I'm  (re)writing  a  very extensive tutorial, (for people to
whom  I'd  told of such a project, I started over a scrapped
what I had already done). It should hold 40+ (read 70), if I
manage  to include everything I want, and if I don't run out
of writing quality in beetween. Un/Fortunately, this is ONLY
cibled  for  classical  (read  baroque)  music.  No  way I'm
teaching  anyone  to  use  jazz  chord!  ;-) Not in this one
anyway.
