These notation styles are available in all tunings.
They do not define any accidentals, only the
special symbols (default, leftparen, rightparen),
so that the default accidental is drawn for each alteration.
| Style | default |
leftparen |
rightparen |
|---|---|---|---|
void |
Nothing (empty markup) | #xE26A | #xE26B |
alteration |
Alteration value such as |
"(" |
")" |
alteration-slash |
Alteration value such as |
"(" |
")" |
step |
Step of the alteration (integer) | "(" |
")" |
The special symbols of void are also defined in every
predefined notation style.
Alteration values are drawn with the command
\ekmelic-fraction-small, with a horizontal or diagonal bar.
alteration, alteration-slash, and step use the text font
selected in LilyPond, not the font selected in Ekmelily.
See the example numeric which resembles alteration.
