Re: Text in front of Staves

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. ;)

\version "2.17.24"

\layout {
ragged-right = ##f
\context {
    \Voice
    \override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##f
    \override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f
}
\context {
    \Staff
    \override VerticalAxisGroup.default-staff-staff-spacing =
      #'((basic-distance . 12)
         (minimum-distance . 7)
         (padding . 1))
}
\context {
    \Score
    \override SystemStartBar #'stencil = ##f
}
}
