Re: extension fingerings, key sigs

[Lukas-Fabian Moser]

Hi Matthew,

How do I keep the new key signature from also appearing at the end of the previous line?

Also, how can I write { 1 x 2 4 } in the fingering font, adding an "x" between the notes to signify the extension between "1" and "2"?

One possibility would be

\version "2.24.0"

\relative {
  \clef bass
  \after 8. \finger "x" a,-1 b-2 cis-4 d-0 e-1 fis gis a\thumb % ;-)
}

but \after only became available during the 2.23.xx series. (But I'd recommend to update to 2.24.0 anyway.)

To be honest: I'm not perfectly happy about the need to use 8. in the after command; it would be best if LilyPond had support for "fingering instructions ranging over more than one one". As far as I know, there's only the "gliding finger" functionality; it might be possible to hijack that infrastructure.
