Center a note in a measure


I'm creating a fingering chart where I would like to center notes in a measure, like the picture below. How would I do that?enter image description here


Solution

  • One way is to adjust the x-offset of the notes like this:

    \version "2.24.3"
    
    \layout {
      ragged-right = ##f
    }
    
    \relative { 
      \override NoteColumn.X-offset = 6
      cis'1 | d | ees | e 
    }
    

    There is probably a better way, but that will work.
