Hello everyone, I am looking to make recorder fingering charts using Lilypond. Current = documentation does not list recorder as available for woodwind fingering = diagrams: =20 = https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/woodwind-diagrams.ht= ml=20 However, I checked the github repository and there are files mentioning = a recorder fingering chart : = https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/blob/master/Documentation/snippets/= recorder-fingering-chart.ly=20 Have the changes not been added to the latest stable version yet? On top of the baroque recorder fingering chart (thumb hole, 7 finger = holes including 2 double holes, bell hole), I would like to add charts = for keyed recorders. Not only the well established keyed tenor recorders = (thumb hole, 6 finger holes including 1 double hole, C# and C keys, bell = hole).=20 I would also like to make diagrams that fit keyed recorders, such as the = Helder instruments by Mollenhauer. I attached in this email a screenshot = of a baroque recorder fingerging chart, and that of the Helder = instruments. I would also like to be able to make my own diagrams. Notably for the = Helder alto with extra C# and D# keys. To my knowledge, Mollenhauer has = never published a fingering chart for this instrument. And who knows = what recorder models will be developed in 10, 20 or 50 years? A community-based fingering database for keyed recorders would be a huge = contribution to the recorder world. Using neat diagrams with Lilypond = would significantly improve the experience. Can the Lilypond community help me with that? I have a degree in NLP so = I can code=E2=80=A6 to some extent! I look forward to hearing from you. Regards, Cl=C3=A9ment B. (France) =EF=BF=BC=EF=BF=BC=EF=BF=BC=
