Hello,
I believe I asked a very similar question some years ago, since when Lilypond has had numerous new releases and improvements. But I still don't know how to typeset French tablature for the viol. This requires six lines, letters printed between the lines, and the notes above the staff printed with heads. Examples are at
and at
There are other software systems that can manage this, but rather than jump between systems I'd rather stay entirely within Lilypond.
Can Lilypond produce tablature of the style shown in the two images above?
many thanks,
Alasdair
