Thanks for the pointers and explanations.
I thought there might be a specific way to indicate a scordatura, and it turns out there are many possible ways, including providing a second scores with the actual pitches or a staff fragment showing the various string pitches vertically:
It would be nice to add the string number at the left of the notes, in case only some strings are tuned differently than usual.
\version "2.19.80"
\header {
title = "Guitar tunings"
}
\relative c {
\omit Staff.TimeSignature
\hide Stem
\mark "EADGBE"
< e a d g b e >
}
\relative c {
\omit Staff.TimeSignature
\hide Stem
\mark "DADGAD"
< d a d' g a d >
}

String instruments sometimes use scordaturas: I’ve wondered how this is noted in modern scores, but couldn't find examples on the Internet.
Can anyone give pointers to actual scores showing that?
Thanks!

https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-userDo you mean modern scores of old music?I like the one with both performed and sounding staves. The performer has to deal with the notes sounding wrong or working out new fingerings from a sounding score. You might as well give them the choice.VaughanUgh, the link didn't copy properly. Google an image search of Bach cello suite 5...
