I want to write some music for Pedal Steel Guitar. Most player are using
tablature so I want to use it also. One of my problems is that the Pedel
Steel Guitar has pedals! They re-tune one or more strings when pressed.
(There is of cause no standard on how many pedals or which strings they
retune or how they re-tune them, but that is another problem...)
The pedals are usually indicated by a letter beside the tab, e.g 8A, 8F,...
See image psg-tab.png
In this case the A means that the 5 and 10 string is raised 2
semitones(B to C#). F means that string 4 and 8 is raised 1 semitone(E
to F).
I have done this and it shows everything correct but for the pedal
letter. How can I get a letter beside the tab note?
%% Start
\version "2.19.11"
\header {

}
PSGE-tuning = \stringTuning <b, d e fis gis b e' gis' dis' fis'>
Notes = { <e' a' cis''>2 e''4}
psgNotes = {
\set TabStaff.restrainOpenStrings = ##t
%%\override StringNumber #'transparent = ##t
<<e'2\6 g'2\5 c''2\4 >> e''4\4
}

\new TabStaff \with

}

English isn't my first language.
So any error or strangeness is due to the translation.
Please correct my English so that I may become better.
