Fwd: Writing a fingering chart for French Horn

[Tommaso Gordini]

Thank you, now everything works perfectly!

I still have three demands.

1. It is possible to center the whole notes in the bar?

2. It is possible to determine the distance of the first row of numbers from the first line of the pentagram? I wish that all the numbers were in line below the staff. For example, not

------------------------------------------------

1           2      3

2     2    1      2-3

but

------------------------------------------------

1     2     2      3

2            1      2-3

3. How do you get the line bar even in the white space between staves?

Grazie e ciao

Tommaso

Yep.
My use of define-scheme-function within fingerChart doesn't work with
2.16.2 this way.

Try to replace it with:

fingerChart =
#(define-event-function (parser location arg)(string?)
#{
      \tweak #'text

    \markup
       \override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
       \finger
       \center-column {
        $(string-split arg #\+)
       }

    -""
#})

Btw, your approach seems to be inspired by

Seems we have no woodwind-diagram for French Horn
