I'm typesetting a piece from Tobias Humes' Musical Humors for the
viol. Some pieces are tuned "as
the Bandora", which means that the common way to tune a viol has to be
changed. In the classical way
, the special tuning is indicated before the first "clef", as a chord
of blacks noteheads (without
notebar). How can I reproduce that in my score, please ?
I do it this way (for viola):
\clef alto
\relative c {
\tiny
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
<b g' d' a'>4
\normalsize
}
\override Stem #'transparent = ##f
\bar "||"
\relative c' { main piece }
This doesn't place the tuning before the clef, key, and time
signatures, but you
could mimic that by hiding those items and putting them later. It
seems more
work that it's worth, though -- this notation is (IMO) clear enough.
