Re: Guitar Tab Quarter Tone Bends

[Stephen MacNeil]

sure here they are

2 versions

1 does normal markup you only add the quarter tones -- alignment isn't perfect as definitions.ily is sometimes off .06 uses original definitions.ily

http://mglessons.com/lilypond/definitions.ily
http://mglessons.com/lilypond/QT_BendDef.ily
http://mglessons.com/lilypond/QT_BendDef-Example.ly
http://mglessons.com/lilypond/QT_BendDef-Example.pdf

2 better alignment but requires all markups to be added with Qt_BendDef_M -- requires modified definitions.ily

http://mglessons.com/lilypond/definitions_M.ily
http://mglessons.com/lilypond/QT_BendDef_M.ily
http://mglessons.com/lilypond/QT_BendDef-Example_M.ly

Hi Stephen

I didn't see the file which produced the PDF you attached in your first message...
If you post it in this list I may add a link in github wiki to offer a workaround for quarter tone bends.

Thanks
Federico

Yes. I wasn't aware of this file being renamed (and I did not see this
message when I answered your private message).

Oh. I think I included the glyphs ¼ and so on but apparently, this is a
font issue.

I see.
