More explanation: \finger doesn't mean "insert a fingering here".


Rather, it means "use that funny time-signature-like

font-MODELED-AFTER-ORATOR-WHICH-TRADITIONALLY-IS-ALSO-USED-IN-SMALL-SIZE-FOR-FINGERING
for these glyphs".

There, FTFY.


Thanksfor the explanation. The solution to get the same characters used
turns out to be pretty simple.


\version "2.17.20"

\relative f'' {
   \override Fingering.font-encoding = #'latin1
   \override Fingering.font-size = #-2
   \override Fingering.font-series = #'bold

   <g-4> <f-2> f^\trill^\markup { \fontsize #-2 \bold "4242" }
}


Hi Nick,

in scores for guitar-music the execution of trills are often indicated
not only with the fingers, which should be used, but with a sort of
slur above them. (Ofcourse you know that. :) )

So I remembered that Jan made some nice undertie-markup-command, issue 3088
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3088
I took that code, slightly modified it (adding some properties, etc)
and added an overtie-markup-command.
In the end I wrote a define-event-function, named slurTrill.

I think there's a wide range for improvements, but it works for now.

\version "2.17.20"

\include "undertie-02.ly"

\relative f'' {
   \override Fingering.font-encoding = #'latin1
   \override Fingering.font-size = #-2
   \override Fingering.font-series = #'bold

   <g-4\2>
   <f-2>
   \once \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left up)
   <f\slurTrill "4242" d-3>
   f\slurTrill "4242"
}

Thanks. That looks useful.

Nick
