The string tuning is an octave off I know that guitar traditionally is notated an octave above where it actually sounds, but I prefer solving this by keeping the tunings in their real octave and then typeset the notes using the 'G8'-clef. In the next lesson, we will look at some string-specific notation elements, such as, pulls, bends, and glissando. Generally it looks very nice :-) I have a few comments though. The solution I came up with was to create a single \markup with everything I need, except the alignment as that may change in the course of a piece. On a score with a bunch of them inserting each of those could get pretty unruly. But now we have a problem of having 3 overrides per buzz roll. \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(.4.

\once \override TextScript #'font-size = #2 2.5)Ĭloser, but the z needs to be a bit bigger. \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(.6. \once \override TextScript #'font-family = #'typewriter In order to have it look how it should, I felt, the “z” needed to be from a sans-serif font to remove the extra unnecessary ornamentation and to make the line width consistent. \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(.7. So to start, I tried to simply override the extra-offset attribute of the TextScript grob and then just drop a normal lower-case “z” on the stem using a text markup, as in the example below. Namely, I ran into a bit of transcription which included a press, or buzz roll, which is typically noted with a Z through the stem. Despite the fact that I’ve been using Lilypond for drum notation for 3 years now, every once in awhile I run into something that I have yet to encounter, and such a thing happened recently.
