I want to set a piece for guitar with LilyPond version 2.12.1. The score should
have three staves: sung melody, guitar regular notes, and guitar tablature.
Here is my basic starting point (my verbose ending point is provided in full at
the end of this message):
\version "2.12.1"
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "mel" {
\relative c' {
%% Sung notes go here
R1
}
}
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\relative c' {
%% Guitar notes go here
g'4 g g g
}
}
\new TabStaff {
\relative c {
%% Guitar tablature goes here
g'4\3 g\3 g\3 g\3
}
}
>>
>>
}
In addition, I want to annotate the piece with fret diagrams, to provide a
basis for custom strumming/improvisation. If I define
%% Define fret diagram
gFretDiagram = \markup {
\fret-diagram #"6-3-2;5-2-1;4-o;3-o;2-o;1-3-3;"
}
and replace the guitar notes with
%% Guitar notes go here
g'4^\gFretDiagram g g g
then I get a G fret diagram between the melody staff and the guitar staff.
But this isn't quite what I want: the fret diagrams should be *above the melody
staff*, not above the guitar staff. Still, I *do* want to use the guitar notes
as the basis for placing fret diagrams, because there might be parts when only
the guitar is playing, i.e., when the melody staff is empty.
To this end, lilypond-snippets.pdf suggests on page 297 (316) to modify the
#'extra-offset value:
%% Guitar notes go here
\override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 15)
g'4^\gFretDiagram g g g
However, this leaves a gigantic space between the melody staff and the guitar
staff where the diagram used to be, and it leaves no space for it where it is
placed. The complete code is below. How to improve it?
\version "2.12.1"
%% Define fret diagram
gFretDiagram = \markup {
\fret-diagram #"6-3-2;5-2-1;4-o;3-o;2-o;1-3-3;"
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "mel" {
\relative c' {
%% Sung notes go here
R1
}
}
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\relative c' {
%% Guitar notes go here
\override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 15)
g'4^\gFretDiagram g g g
}
}
\new TabStaff {
\relative c {
%% Guitar tablature goes here
g'4\3 g\3 g\3 g\3
}
}
>>
>>
}
