Re: Violin tab for fiddle tunes

[R.D. Latimer]

I've put together a sample fiddle tune with music notation, sample fiddle tab (using finger number), guitar tab (using fret number), and guitar capo 2 tab (using fret number based on capo).

Let me know if anyone would like me to post.

I'd like help getting started with transcribing fiddle tunes with music and tab.

Here's my initial try (first two measures)

The fingering for the violin is not correct in the tab. Fingering should be:
2 0 0  2 0 0 | 3 1 1  3 0 1 |

I'll attach a jpeg image.  Thanks for any help.

Here's my source code so far:

\version "2.16.2"
\header {
  title = "Old John's Jig"
  composer = "trad"
}

\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff \relative c'' {
      \clef "treble"
      \key g \major
      \time 6/8
        c8 a a c a a   g e e g a b
    }
   \new TabStaff \with {
      stringTunings = #violin-tuning
      }
      {
      \relative c'' {
    c8 a a c a a   g e e g a b
    }
    }
