RE: String number in a \markup

[Nick Payne]

Have a look at the message I posted yesterday titled "Colliding rests
warning". The code I included in that shows how to move the string number
markup to underneath the clef symbol:
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg45134.html.

You could also engrave both actual notes and scordatura. As a player I find
that easier when the scordatura involves two or three strings - I don't have
to keep remembering which strings and by how much. It's obviously more work
for the engraver, though. eg:

\version "2.12.2"

\paper {
        #(set-paper-size "a4")
        top-margin = 1.5\cm
        bottom-margin = 1.5\cm
        line-width = 18\cm
        ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}

\header {
        tagline = ##f
}

actual = \markup {
        \lower #0.5 
        \score {
                \new Staff \with {
                        \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
                } {
                        \set Staff.instrumentName= \markup \huge "(actual) "
                        \clef treble \cadenzaOn
                        \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
                        <d a d' a' d'' f''>4 s \bar "dashed"
                }
                \layout {
                        ragged-right = ##t
                        indent = 1\cm
                }
        }
        \hspace #.5
}

scordatura = \markup {
        \lower #1.0 
        \score {
                \new Staff \with {
                        \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
                } {
                        \set Staff.instrumentName= \markup \tiny
"(scordatura)  "
                        \clef treble \cadenzaOn
                        \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
                        <d a d' g' b' e''>4 s \bar "dashed"
                }
                \layout {
                        ragged-right = ##t
                        indent = 1\cm
                }
        }
        \hspace #.5
}

actualnotes = \relative c' {
        \clef treble
        d,8( f) bes d <a' d>4
        \bar "|."
}

scordaturanotes = \relative c' {
        \clef treble
        d,8( f-3) bes-1 d-0 <g-0 b!-0>4
        \bar "|."
}

\score {
        <<
                \new Staff <<
                        \tempo "Moderato"
                        \set Staff.instrumentName = \actual
                        \new Voice \actualnotes
                >>
                \new Staff <<
                        \set Staff.instrumentName = \scordatura
                        \new Voice \scordaturanotes
                >>
        >>
        \layout {
                ragged-right = ##t
                indent = 5\cm
                \context {
                        \Staff
                        \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
                }
        }
}
