Re: [scimembers] Clarinet fingering charts

[Mike Solomon]

Lilypond (http://www.lilypond.org) has automated woodwind fingering charts
as of version 2.13 for the following instruments:

Piccolo
Flute
Oboe
Clarinet
Bass clarinet
Saxophone
Bassoon
Contrabassoon

To get the attached result, compile the following snippet of code with
Lilypond:

\version "2.13.32"

\header {
  tagline=""
}

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##f
}

    I    woodwind.ly
Row 14   Col 1    5:17  Ctrl-K H for help
\score {
\relative c'' {

  ees1^\markup {
    \woodwind-diagram
      #'oboe
      #'((cc . (h two three four five six)) (lh . ()) (rh . (cis))) }
%_"oboe"

  b!1^\markup {
    \woodwind-diagram
      #'bass-clarinet
      #'((cc . (one two three four five six)) (lh . (R thumb e)) (rh . (f)))
} %_"bass clarinet"

  \clef bass
  ees,,,1^\markup {
    \woodwind-diagram
      #'bassoon
      #'((cc . (one two three four five six)) (lh . (ees low-d)) (rh .
