Re: a specific note head shape for string players

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Paul,

How about :

\version "2.18.2"

\relative c {
  \time 3/4
  \clef alto
 
  % measure  77
  des'16[ des  bes'8~]
  bes16[ aes-- g-- aes--]
  g[ f e <f 
    %\tweak Accidental.color #red
    %\tweak NoteHead.color #red 
    \tweak stencil #(lambda (grob) ly:notehead::print
                      (grob-interpret-markup grob
                         (markup #:musicglyph "noteheads.s0laThin" )))
    bes,>]

}

Cheers,

Piette

String players sometimes have to put one finger over two strings, but sound just one. 

The finger also stopping an unplayed string is often played later, so this action is one 

of finger preparation. I show this in the attached snippet where I have used a red note 

head to denote the unplayed, but stopped note. Red looks a little vulgar and loud. 

In the Kreutzer 42 Violin studies, this action is indicated with a blank square, something 

like the end marker of a proof in mathematics. 

Is there please any way I can change the note heads shown in red to a small blank square ? 

Paul
