Réf. : Re: scordatura

[Jean-marc LEGRAND]

Here's my final solution to indicate before a staff the tuning of an instrument 
:

\relative c {
\override Staff.TimeSignature  #'transparent = ##t          %no time signature
\tiny                                     % tiny font size
\clef F
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t              %noteheads only
<c, f c' f a d>4                                % the tuning
\normalsize                               % return to normal size.
\bar "||"
}

(...)

Thanks for those who have given me precious advices !

PS : to make it really "authentic", I'd like to have a tiny clef before the 
chord, and return after
the || to a normal clef : how can I do ?

Thanks for your trick : it does work.
But I still have a problem. TYhis is what I wrote :

\clef F
\relative c {
\tiny
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
<c, f c' f a d>4
\normalsize
}
\override Stem #'transparent = ##f
\override Key #'transparent = ##f
\bar "||"


\key d \minor
\clef F
\relative c {
(...)

And I'd like a tiny F clef before the chord, and a noirmal one after the \bar 
"||".
I cannot find the property linked to the clef, and I don't know how to force a 
clef in the staff.
Con you help me again ?

I do it this way (for viola):

\clef alto
\relative c {
\tiny
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
<b g' d' a'>4
\normalsize
}
\override Stem #'transparent = ##f
\bar "||"

\relative c' {  main piece }


This doesn't place the tuning before the clef, key, and time
signatures, but you
could mimic that by hiding those items and putting them later.  It
seems more
work that it's worth, though -- this notation is (IMO) clear enough.
