Lute tablatures
LilyPond supports tablature for lute.
To get additional bass strings use additionalBassStrings, where the
pitches of those strings are set. They will be printed below lowest line as:
a, /a, //a, ///a, 4, 5, etc.
fret-letter-tablature-format for tablatureFormat should be used,
probably fretLabels for further customizing.
m = { f'4 d' a f d a, g, fis, e, d, c, \bar "|." }
\score {
<<
\new Staff { \clef bass \cadenzaOn \m }
\new TabStaff \m
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
tablatureFormat = #fret-letter-tablature-format
}
\context {
\TabStaff
stringTunings = \stringTuning <a, d f a d' f'>
additionalBassStrings = \stringTuning <c, d, e, fis, g,>
fretLabels = #'("a" "b" "r" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "k")
}
}
}
Known issues and warnings
Using FretBoards with additionalBassStrings is not supported and
will yield unsatisfying results.
