Re: Drop D tuning

[Nick Payne]

And for a piece like Koyunbaba, where five of the six strings are 
retuned, something like this:

%======================
\version "2.13.11"

\include "english.ly"

\pointAndClickOff

actual = \markup {
    \lower #1.9
    \score {
        \new Staff \with {
            \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
        } {
            \set Staff.instrumentName= \markup \huge "(actual) "
            \clef "treble_8" \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 #2.4
    \score {
        \new Staff \with {
            \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
        } {
            \set Staff.instrumentName= \markup \tiny "(scordatura)  "
            \clef "treble_8" \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_8"
    d,8( f) bf d <a' d>4
}

scordaturanotes = \relative c {
    \clef "treble_8"
    d,8( f-3) bf-1 d-0 <g-0 b!-0>4
}

\score {
<<
        \new Staff <<
            \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"
        }
    }
}
