Re: Drop D tuning

[David Stocker]

Brett,

This is a modification of the code I use to draw this mark. Maybe you 
can put this in the \header block somewhere where it will appear in the 
appropriate place. I place this mark below the first system's clef by 
attaching it to the first note an then using an \tweak or an offset 
script to maneuver it to where I want it to go.

To really understand how this works and how the command relate to each 
other, I'd recommend looking up each of these commands in the "Command 
index" and reading the sections that they are explained in:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/LilyPond-command-index#LilyPond-command-index

\markup {
 \column {
   \line {
     \general-align #Y #CENTER {
       \circle \fontsize #-4.5 \musicglyph #"six" \tiny { "= D" }
       }
     }
  }
}
