Re: How to implement a "5-3" fingering (Piano) (LP 2.22)

[Hans Aikema]

Valentin,

your remark confuses me.

In what way is your suggested syntaxt different from what's in the docs?

\relative {
  c''4-1 d-2 f\finger \markup \tied-lyric "4~3" c\finger "2 - 3"
}

I only see a few spaces which afaik only icrease readability, but apparently I overlook something.

regards,

Hans

Hello Ken, hello David,

the way given in the documentation is not particularly good, as this won't produce a Fingering grob but a TextScript grob, which cannot be positioned the same way.

Much better would be to use

e-\finger "5-3"
or
e-\finger\markup\tied-lyric "5~3"
or something.

Cheers,
Valentin

HI David;

  Thank you.  Read right past it, missing it entirely.

The second example under the heading "Fingering Instructions" gives you a couple of options.

HI;

See attachment.

I have a piece of music arranged for Piano which I am practicing my

Lilypond engraving skills.

The final bar (in the bass clef) is two half notes.  The first half

note has a fingering of "5-3".

  How does one engrave that?

Probably something obvious in the manual that I missed.

Thanks in advance for your awesome assistance!
