Re: Layout of a (piano) hand indicator

[Jacques Menu]

Hello Urs,

The horizontal part is not visible if the note head lies on a line:

{
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  <d'' \finger
  \markup {
    \path #0.175
    #'((moveto 0 -2)
       (rlineto 0 3)
       (rlineto 0.85 0)
       (moveto -1.5 2))
  } > 8
}

{
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  <d' \finger
  \markup {
    \path #0.175
    #'((moveto 0 -2)
       (rlineto 0 3)
       (rlineto 0.85 0)
       (moveto -1.5 2))
  } > 8
}
