A better definition of x would be x = #(define-music-function (parser location notes) (ly:music?) #{ \override NoteHead #'style = #'cross \set tablatureFormat = #x-tab-format $notes \unset tablatureFormat \revert NoteHead #'style #}) This version allows you to call \x {c4 c c c} if you want to have lots of notes muted.
Yes, that's even better :-)
Hm, I think if everyone waits until someone else is doing the job, we'll have to be patient :-)Yes, I knew that already. I mentioned it because I hope that there will be an additional file (tablature.ly) shipped with future versions of lilypond with some predefined commands like these two. (By the way, tuplets and tuplet numbers should be handled properly, too).I assume that this will happen when tablature is updated. As far as I know, nobody is yet planning to do the work on tablature. They are only planning to put in the requests. I'd be happy to have a Frog (even a new Frog, like you, Marc, if you're interested or willing) take responsibility for tablature. I'd give any advice that I could, and you'd have access to help from the lilypond-devel list for those things that are beyond me.
Can you explain to me what a "Frog" is (and what he has to do)? I don't know much about scheme and the lilypond internals (yet?), but I am willing to spend some time in bringing this project further on, because the lack of specific tablature features is the main reason for me not using lilypond for every piece of music I write down.
