New issue 3064 by address@hidden: deadNotes example is not playable
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3064

Eluze reported here:

in
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/guitar#indicating-harmonics-and-dampened-notes
the 2nd example shows /dampened notes/

IMO this example is overloaded - it first displays 3 chords where the
dampened notes are probably not playable (at least not at my guitar playing
level).

can this be reduced to

music = \relative c' {
  <>
  %  \set stringNumberOrientations = #'(up)
  \deadNotesOn
  \times 2/3 {
    g8 b e
  }
  \deadNotesOff
  < a,\3 c\2 e\1 >1
}
\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff {
    \clef "treble_8"
    \music
  }
  \new TabStaff {
    \music
  }


if it is wanted to include the string numbers the fingeringOrientations
should be like in the code above (and not like the doc with the 3rd string
number below the staff)

btw - I've added a <> before \deadNotesOn because without \deadNotesOff has
no effect on the next chord (it works with explicit voices…)! [could be
another bug]

thanks
