Changing the size of woodwind diagrams
The size and thickness of woodwind diagrams can be changed.

Fingering symbols for wind instruments
Special symbols can be achieved by combining existing glyphs, which is useful for wind instruments.
centermarkup = {
\once \override TextScript.self-alignment-X = #CENTER
\once \override TextScript.X-offset =#(lambda (g)
(+ (ly:self-alignment-interface::centered-on-x-parent g)

Flute slap notation
It is possible to indicate special articulation techniques such as a flute “tongue slap” by replacing the note head with the appropriate glyph.
slap =
#(define-music-function (music) (ly:music?)
#{
\temporary \override NoteHead.stencil =
#(lambda (grob)
(grob-interpret-markup grob
(markup #:musicglyph "scripts.sforzato")))
\temporary \override NoteHead.stem-attachment =
#(lambda (grob)
(let* ((thickness (ly:staff-symbol-line-thickness grob))
(stem (ly:grob-object grob 'stem))
(dir (ly:grob-property stem 'direction UP)))
(cons 1 (+ (if (= dir DOWN)
0.5
0)
(/ thickness 2)))))
#music
\revert NoteHead.stencil
\revert NoteHead.stem-attachment
#})

Graphical and text woodwind diagrams
In many cases, the keys other than the central column can be displayed by key name as well as by graphical means.
\relative c'' {
\textLengthOn
c1^\markup
\woodwind-diagram
#'piccolo
#'((cc . (one three))
(lh . (gis))
(rh . (ees)))
c^\markup

Recorder fingering chart
The following example demonstrates how fingering charts for wind instruments can be realized.

Woodwind diagrams key lists
The snippet below produces a list of all possible keys and key settings
for woodwind diagrams as defined in
scm/define-woodwind-diagrams.scm. The list will be displayed in
the log file, but not in the music. If output to the console is
wanted, omit the (current-error-port) from the commands.
