Re: Clarinet fingerings

[Paul Scott]

A quick comment, not the answer to your question:

You have given the correct fingering for Bb for the F major scale but you
have called it b4 which would be a B natural quarter note.  In LilyPond,
unlike Finale, the key signature does not affect the note.  You must
say bes or its equivalent in whatever language file you include.
For example Bb would be "bf" if you include "english.ly'

Many of us have learned this hard way,

Hope that helps,

Paul
