Letting only TabStaff display quarter-tones.I'm of the same opinion as it doesn't/shouldn't really matter pitchwise where exactly you place your finger within a fret space on a fretted instrument.I'm no guitarist, but don't they sometimes pull sideways on the string or use a mechanical attachment to sharpen a note?Yes, pull-offs are quite common but it's rather a technique to pluck thestring with your fretting hand. With "mechanical attachment" you're probably alluding to a capo. It acts like a sort of artificial "barre". It fits around the neck of the guitar and raises the pitch of all (or only some of the) strings. LilyPond already displays capo indications as a thick bar in fret diagrams. Bottlenecks are also used to sharpen or lower a note. It works like some sort of a "movable fret". But I've never seen quarter tone indications in fret diagrams. Cheers, Patrick
I was thinking of things like these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrato_systems_for_guitar
BTW: Did you deliberately not reply to the list?
No. I'm stuck using an unfamiliar web-mail interface while my main computer is being repaired; I must have hit the wrong button. Thanks for noticing.
