Re: Drop D tuning

[Nick Payne]

I prefer to have the indication just to the left of the first stave, and 
for this I set the instrument name, as it automatically gets placed 
correctly:

\relative c' {
    \clef "treble_8"
    \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \bold { \circle {6} "= D " }
    c1
}
