Staff notation 100
Mensurstriche layout (bar lines between the staves)
The mensurstriche-layout where the bar lines do not show on the staves but between staves can
be achieved with a StaffGroup instead of a ChoirStaff. The bar line on staves is blanked out
by setting the transparent property.
global = {
\override Staff.BarLine #'transparent = ##t
s1 s
% the final bar line is not interrupted
\revert Staff.BarLine #'transparent
\bar "|."
}
\new StaffGroup \relative c'' {
}
\new Staff { > }
>>
}
Modern TAB text clef
Use a markup text to replace the (TAB) clef glyph with a modern font.
TAB = \markup {
\raise #1.5
\sans
\bold
\huge
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2.5)
\left-align
\center-column {
T
A
B
}
}
\new TabStaff {
\override Staff.Clef #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)
(grob-interpret-markup grob TAB))
a
}
