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"
}
}
}

Subject: Re: String number in a \markup
Thanks.
To elaborate, and make it a little more elegant looking:
\version "2.12"
\relative c' {
c1_\markup {
\column {
\line { \general-align #Y #CENTER { \teeny \bold { \circle 5 }
"="
"G" } }
\line { \general-align #Y #CENTER { \teeny \bold { \circle 6 }
"="
"C" } }
}
}
}
Jonathan-I think this does what we're looking for. It doesn't call the
characters used for the string numbers, but it looks very similar. Now
we need to move it left so that it's left aligned the clef, below the
first line in the score.

Hi folks,
Is there a way to insert a string number into a \markup? What I need
is to indicate a scordatura for a guitar piece like this:
\markup {
\column {
\line { \small "5 = G" }
\line { \small "6 = C" }
}
}
where the '5' and '6' are identical to their analogous string
numbers
(i.e. they are encircled)
In the Feta Font, these don't seem to by music-glyphs. Is there a
reasonably easy way to call these within a \markup? are they glyphs
from another font?
\markup {
\column {
\line { \small \circle 5 "= G" }
\line { \small \circle 6 "= C" }
}
}
