Adding fingerings to tablatures
To add fingerings to tablatures, use a combination of \markup and \finger.
one = \markup { \finger 1 }
two = \markup { \finger 2 }
threeTwo = \markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
\column {
\finger 3
\finger 2
}
}
threeFour = \markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
\column {
\finger 3
\finger 4
}
}
\score {
\new TabStaff {
\stemUp
e8\4^\one b\2 ^>^\threeTwo[ b\2 e\4]
}
}
