Re: Text in front of Staves

[Kale Good]

Hi Thomas,
Thanks; it works like a charm* until I need a page break; right now its just crowding everything on one page. I put it a \pageBreak and nothing happened, so I'm guessing that lilypond won't break simultaneous music over a page (makes sense). Any overrides for this?

*works like a charm except for your \override VerticalAxisGroup command, which I'm not super familiar with (looks right to me). Won't compile with it, will compile without it.

wasn't planning on bringing back 19th century guitar fingering notation, but now that you mention it... =)

Thanks again,
Kale

I see that lilypond supports a cool-looking No. glyph, which is great. I'd like to get in in front of each stave in order to number a series of exercises. See attached png for an example.

I'm working on making a version of Giuliani's 120 right hand studies for clasical guitar.

Hi,

I've typesetted the first two exercises of your png, though without fingerings.
This should give you a starting-point.
Btw, I hope you are _not_ going to rebuild these fossil right-hand-fingering-symbols. ;)
