Re: Piano_Tab Notation; questions ;-)

Hi Philip,

Glad you found the information on the MNP site helpful.  I’ve been down many of 
these paths in order to get LilyPond to support Clairnote music notation 
(http://clairnote.org).  (At some point you might want to look at my 
clairnote-code.ly file (http://clairnote.org/software/).)

See the attached .ly file with some old code that shows a way to do this.  
You’ll need to get fairly fluent in scheme to do everything that you'll want to 
do.

You can store it all in a variable and then just use that.

%%%%%%%%%%%

\version "2.19.36"

myLinePositions = {
  \stopStaff 
  \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #'(21 19 16 14 12
9 7 4 2 0 -2.8 -3 -3.2 -4.8 -5 -5.2 -8 -10 -12 -15 -17 -20 -22 -24 -27 -29
-32 -34 -36) 
  \startStaff
}

{ 
  c d e f 
  \myLinePositions
  c d e f
}
