Hi.
Current tunings for tenor and baritone ukulele are string reversed. From
`ly/string-tunings-init.ly`:
%% ukulele tunings
\makeDefaultStringTuning #'ukulele-tuning \stringTuning <g' c' e' a'>
\makeDefaultStringTuning #'ukulele-d-tuning \stringTuning <a' d' fis' b'>
\makeDefaultStringTuning #'tenor-ukulele-tuning \stringTuning <a' e' c' g>
\makeDefaultStringTuning #'baritone-ukulele-tuning \stringTuning <e' b g d>
Those two last tuning should be <g c' e' a'> and <d g b e'> respectively.
In addition, I'd say those two tunings are weirly named -- from the same
file, all guitar tunings are named `guitar-something`, all banjo tunings
`banjo-something`.
As I haven't find any report about the wrong definitions, I think it's
be safe to assume that no one is using them and it would be ok to rename
them.
I'd suggest rewriting them as:
\makeDefaultStringTuning #'ukulele-linear-tuning \stringTuning <g c' e' a'>
\makeDefaultStringTuning #'ukulele-baritone-tuning \stringTuning <d g b e'>
or alternatively, remove them.
What do you think?
Best.
