Subject: [tablatures] [Request/Bounty] Tablature bends
To: Lily-Devel List <lilypond-devel@email-addr-hidden>, "tablatures@email-addr-hidden" <
tablatures@email-addr-hidden>
Hello all,
after about half a year I have to admit that I don't have a) the time
and b) the programming skills to implement bends in lilypond[1]. Sorry.
Bends are important for guitarists, so I offer 75$ for this issue and
I am posting to the tablature list, because perhaps someone else there
is willing to donate some money too, to get this task done.
During winter 2009/2010, Carl and I discussed the syntax and implementation
details very intensively in about a dozen mails or so, and as things got
nailed down, I wrote a roadmap how the bend engraver and the tab note head
engraver have to be built/extended. There is also a file bend.ly
which uses slurs to mimic bends - the graphic routines for bends are already
there,
so I offer my help providing and explaining the roadmap. A skilled developer
should have no problems to code the new engraver and transform the graphic
routines
into c++ code.
During the bend.ly story, I got in touch with developers of tuxguitar, so I
think
the whole bend story will make lilypond more attractive as a front end to
tuxguitar users and of course to professional music typesetters working on
contemporary
guitar music.
Greetings
Marc
[1] It was really hard for me to accept b), but to be honest, I still
struggle
with some basic concepts of c++ in combination with lilypond, which is
*very*
frustrating.
