Hi David,
I didn't proofread.
Though some observations.
(1)
Why not
"|" = \bar "|"
instead of
content = #(map-some-music
(lambda (m)
(and (music-is-of-type? m 'bar-check)
#{ \bar "|" #}))
content)
(2)
A seven string tablature is hard to read, imho.
Why not use 'additionalBassStrings'. I would print "0" below sixth string here.
(3)
I tried to boil down the programming error. Minimal:
\new Score \with { defaultBarType = "" } { c'1. }
It's already present in 2.14.2.
2.12.3 doesn't print an error. No clue if the error isn't there for
this version or if it's not recognized and printed to the terminal.
I'd need to have a far closer look at the 'tabtranslate', before I
could say anything relevant about this function.
Cheers,
Harm
