Re: Transparency issue with TabStaff ?

[Steve Moreau]

Awesome, thanks Pierre! It worked.

Here is where I put it in my .ly file if anyone needs it:

\layout {
...
  \context {
    \TabStaff
    \clef moderntab
...
    \override TabNoteHead.whiteout = ##f
  }
}

Have a nice day,

Steve

Hi Steve and welcome to the Pond.

\override TabStaff.TabNoteHead.whiteout = ##f

should do th trick.

See for more details: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/tabnotehead

Hi,

I'm new to the list, so first thanks for the good job :)

I tried to export a .ly file to a transparent PNG.

Everything seems fine except for the tab number of the TabStaff (which has a white background, see the image below):

Is it a wrong configuration on my side or a limit of the current code?

I'm still digging to change the font as well, so maybe I'll find it in the documentation later.

But just in case nobody notices it.

Have a nice day

$ lilypond --version
GNU LilyPond 2.20.0

$ lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts -dpixmap-format=pngalpha --png test.ly

As for the ly file it is one the sample of the documentation, adapted a bass.

I guess the relevant part are

mynotes = {
  e f g c' | \noBreak
  e'4 g' b' c'' | \break
  e
}
\new TabStaff {
  #(define custom-tuning #{ \stringTuning <e, a d' g'> #})
  \set Staff.stringTunings = #custom-tuning
  \mynotes
}
