Re: special markings for string players....

[Ralph Palmer]

Paul and Marc -

My apologies for the late reply -- I was on vacation last week, with no internet access. For the circumflex indicating a half step, take a look at the Learning Manual and possibly the index, and look for \markup.

For the bowing markers, I've seen H or Fr, T or P, M, LH, UH and WH, for heel or frog, tip or point, middle, lower half, upper half, and whole bow, respectively. I'm also attaching .png files showing graphic symbols from a book I have. The symbols should be self-explanatory. If not, feel free to email me for clarification.

Can anyone answer the following. I am a string (Viola) player and need some special markings in my sheet music. One is the usual semitone marker. This is like a circumflex between two notes. For example e f  would be written roughly as  e^f  but with the circumflex over the two notes. Is there a way to do this in Lilypond ?

Something similar is needed for bends in guitar music which I try to implement in lilypond.
Do you have an example for this sign somewhere? Perhaps some bits of my code will be suitable
for your needs ...

Also for string playing there markers for bowing such as heel middle and point. Is there a way to do this in Lilypond or do I just use the usual function to add text to the manuscript ?

How should they look like?
