Hi Peter,

use \tag

Not sure if it's really what you want, though your example could look like:

\version "2.16.2"

music = \relative c, {
  \set Staff.stringTunings = \stringTuning <b,, e, a, d g b>

  <\parenthesize c \parenthesize g'>1(\glissando

   -\tag #'staff _\markup { "w/bar" }
   -\tag #'tabstaff _\markup { \tiny \bold "-7" }

  \unset Staff.stringTunings
  <f c'>)
}

<<

  \new Staff \keepWithTag #'staff <<

    \new Voice {
      \clef "treble_8"
      \music
    }
  >>

  \new TabStaff \keepWithTag #'tabstaff <<
    \new TabVoice {
      \tabFullNotation
      \music
    }
  >>
>>

HTH,
  Harm

That works wonderfully, exactly what I want for now! LilyPond never fails to amaze me … I’m using it regularly for several years now, but never before heard of tags. Incredibly useful, thanks a lot!

So, this is good for now, but I still have to figure out if this is the ideal way to indicate whammy bar use. How have others handled such a scenario?
