\fret-diagram
definition-string (string)
-
Make a (guitar) fret diagram. For example, say
\markup \fret-diagram #"s:0.75;6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;"
for fret spacing 3/4 of staff space, D chord diagram
Syntax rules for definition-string:
- -
Diagram items are separated by semicolons.
- -
Possible items:
-
s:
number -- Set the fret spacing of the diagram (in staff
spaces).
Default: 1.
-
t:
number -- Set the line thickness (in staff spaces).
Default: 0.05.
-
h:
number -- Set the height of the diagram in frets.
Default: 4.
-
w:
number -- Set the width of the diagram in strings.
Default: 6.
-
f:
number -- Set fingering label type
(0 = none, 1 = in circle on string, 2 = below string).
Default: 0.
-
d:
number -- Set radius of dot, in terms of fret spacing.
Default: 0.25.
-
p:
number -- Set the position of the dot in the fret space.
0.5 is centered; 1 is on lower fret bar, 0 is on upper fret bar.
Default: 0.6.
-
c:
string1-
string2-
fret -- Include a
barre mark from string1 to string2 on fret.
-
string-
fret -- Place a dot on string at fret.
If fret is ‘o’, string is identified as open.
If fret is ‘x’, string is identified as muted.
-
string-
fret-
fingering -- Place a dot on
string at fret, and label with fingering as defined
by the f:
code.

\fret-diagram-terse
definition-string (string)
-
Make a fret diagram markup using terse string-based syntax.
Here is an example
\markup \fret-diagram-terse #"x;x;o;2;3;2;"
for a D chord diagram.
Syntax rules for definition-string:
-
Strings are terminated by semicolons; the number of semicolons
is the number of strings in the diagram.
-
Mute strings are indicated by ‘x’.
-
Open strings are indicated by ‘o’.
-
A number indicates a fret indication at that fret.
-
If there are multiple fret indicators desired on a string, they
should be separated by spaces.
-
Fingerings are given by following the fret number with a -
,
followed by the finger indicator, e.g. ‘3-2’ for playing the third
fret with the second finger.
-
Where a barre indicator is desired, follow the fret (or fingering) symbol
with -(
to start a barre and -)
to end the barre.

-
\fret-diagram-verbose
marking-list (pair)
-
Make a fret diagram containing the symbols indicated in marking-list.
For example,
\markup \fret-diagram-verbose
#'((mute 6) (mute 5) (open 4)
(place-fret 3 2) (place-fret 2 3) (place-fret 1 2))
produces a standard D chord diagram without fingering indications.
Possible elements in marking-list:
-
(mute string-number)
Place a small ‘x’
at the top of string string-number.
-
(open string-number)
Place a small ‘o’
at the top of string string-number.
-
(barre start-string end-string fret-number)
Place a barre indicator (much like a tie) from string start-string
to string end-string at fret fret-number.
-
(capo fret-number)
Place a capo indicator (a large solid bar) across the entire fretboard
at fret location fret-number. Also, set fret fret-number
to be the lowest fret on the fret diagram.
-
(place-fret string-number fret-number [finger-value [color-modifier]])
Place a fret playing indication on string string-number at fret
fret-number with an optional fingering label finger-value,
and an optional color modifier color-modifier.
By default, the fret playing indicator is a solid dot. This can be
globally changed by setting the value of the variable dot-color.
Setting color-modifier to inverted
inverts the dot color
for a specific fingering.
If the finger part of the place-fret
element is present,
finger-value will be displayed according to the setting of the
variable finger-code. There is no limit to the number of fret
indications per string.

\harp-pedal
definition-string (string)
-
Make a harp pedal diagram.
Possible elements in definition-string:
-
^
pedal is up
-
-
pedal is neutral
-
v
pedal is down
-
|
vertical divider line
-
o
the following pedal should be circled (indicating a change)
The function also checks if the string has the typical form of three
pedals, then the divider and then the remaining four pedals. If not it
prints out a warning. However, in any case, it will also print each symbol
in the order as given. This means you can place the divider (even multiple
dividers) anywhere you want, but you'll have to live with the warnings.
The appearance of the diagram can be tweaked inter alia using the size property
of the TextScript grob (\override Voice.TextScript #'size = #0.3
) for
the overall, the thickness property
(\override Voice.TextScript #'thickness = #3
) for the line thickness of
the horizontal line and the divider. The remaining configuration (box sizes,
offsets and spaces) is done by the harp-pedal-details list of properties
(\override Voice.TextScript #'harp-pedal-details #'box-width = #1
).
It contains the following settings: box-offset
(vertical shift of the
box center for up/down pedals), box-width
, box-height
,
space-before-divider
(the spacing between two boxes before the
divider) and space-after-divider
(box spacing after the divider).

\woodwind-diagram
instrument (symbol) user-draw-commands (list)
-
Make a woodwind-instrument diagram. For example, say
\markup \woodwind-diagram
#'oboe #'((lh . (d ees)) (cc . (five3qT1q)) (rh . (gis)))
for an oboe with the left-hand d key, left-hand ees key,
and right-hand gis key depressed while the five-hole of
the central column effectuates a trill between 1/4 and 3/4 closed.
The following instruments are supported:
- -
piccolo
- -
flute
- -
oboe
- -
clarinet
- -
bass-clarinet
- -
saxophone
- -
bassoon
- -
contrabassoon
To see all of the callable keys for a given instrument,
include the function (print-keys 'instrument)
in your .ly file, where instrument is the instrument
whose keys you want to print.
Certain keys allow for special configurations. The entire gamut of
configurations possible is as follows:
- -
1q (1/4 covered)
- -
1h (1/2 covered)
- -
3q (3/4 covered)
- -
R (ring depressed)
- -
F (fully covered; the default if no state put)
Additionally, these configurations can be used in trills. So, for example,
three3qTR
effectuates a trill between 3/4 full and ring depressed
on the three hole. As another example, threeRT
effectuates a trill
between R and open, whereas threeTR
effectuates a trill between open
and shut. To see all of the possibilities for all of the keys of a given
instrument, invoke (print-keys-verbose 'instrument)
.
Lastly, substituting an empty list for the pressed-key alist will result in
a diagram with all of the keys drawn but none filled, for example:
\markup \woodwind-diagram #'oboe #'()
