ha funny: I was working on it. You`ll have to install a font.
I'll work on it tonight, hope its done soon.
Which saxophone do you need it for?
Here's one for soprano and one for alto.
You'll have to install some fonts first: specifically "Woodwind Tablature Sax Euro", the others are not needed

there could be some better way of doing this, to avoid having multiple plugins with the exact same content, but it'd require more work.
I'll put the work into it if i see people use the plugin.

and also, the font is very VERY VERY VERY ugly.
there is no support for polyphonics (or are they called mutliphonics in english too?)
There is also no support for alternate fingerings. You'll have to add them manually. See the readme in the fonts directory.

thanks for testing, I'll try to find what does that tonight

ok, I had messed up my transposition thing.
Here's the corrected version: https://github.com/Marr11317/saxophone-fingerings/tree/master/dist
You should be able to download any file in that directory by clicking on it, clicking view raw, and then pressing ctrl+s (cmd+s on mac).
It also looks like you have installed the wrong font. In the archive I sent earlier, you should only have to install the euro version of the font.
Tell me if you encounter any problem.

This is fantastic!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
Is it possible to do for Clarinet and Flute too? Maybe with some help I could do it on my own?
I have no experience with qml & plugins so far.
I work with music classes and it's so nice to help the pupils from time to time with the fingerings over the notation. The sax-fingering looks very nice and works perfectly!

glad you like it! I'll have a look at making clarint and flute plugins. I won't have time for this this week though, as I have many exams coming.
However, in the meantime, do you have a good example of a good-looking flute or clarinet tablature diagram? I'll try to reproduce them in a similar font.
Thanks,

Thank you, Yes, I do have such diagrams. Is it possible here to share images in private messages?

I don't know about private messages, but you can upload images right here.
Else you can send me images by email: remimarche@gmail.com

That is probably caused by auto placement try to either:
1. decrease the font size
2. Disable autoplace
3. Add some system breaks to space out the fingerings.

Hola Marr11317,
Muchísimas gracias por tus aportes a la comunidad
Por favor, puedes comentar a la comunidad de “no programadores” cual es el archivo correcto que tenemos que descargar en el repositorio. Es que son completamente distintos, y los usuarios que desconocemos de programación, pues no nos enteramos de nada.
¿Por qué ese error insistente de “This plugin needs the Saxy…” cuando la fuente Saxy.fft está instalada correctamente? Por qué las fuentes están en una carpeta “redist” y no “fonts”.
Estamos todos literalmente muy frustrados

Thank you very much for your contributions to the community
Please, you can comment to the community of 'non-programmers' which is the correct file that we have to download in the repository. It is that they are completely different, and the users that we do not know about programming, because we do not find out anything.
Why that nagging 'This plugin needs the Saxy ...' error when the Saxy.fft font is installed correctly? Why the fonts are in a 'redist' folder and not 'fonts'.
We are all literally very frustrated

Hola, pardoname por no responder mas pronto, estaba de vacaciones...
El problemo estaba en el code. Yo le he corrigido ahora.
Si encontra usted otro problemos, porfavor dime lo, asi podré corrigir lo.
y pardona mi castellano, tambien dime lo si estaria mejor en ingles para usted.
Trying to install the new Alto Sax Fingering and Saxy font. I keep getting that the form is not installed. here is a couple of screenshots. Do you think that you can help?

Hi Stevenarkon,
I have the same problem as you. Please, can you tell me if you have solved it. In which folder and how can the happy Saxy.fft be installed.
I am literally frustrated

I am using Windows 10 Pro with OS Build 19042.685. I put the Saxy.ttf font and the alto_sax_fingerings.qml in my C:\Users\Steven\Documents\MuseScore3\Plugins folder (Do not remove them from that directory. If you do you will need to reinstall both of them). Also, make sure that I installed the font to All Users. The installed Saxy.ttf shows up in C:\ Windows/Fonts.
As far as I know, that is the way you install fonts and setup the .qml file. I have not received a reply from anyone giving advice or comments.

Thanks for the info,
But I have a Mac and the problem continues: the happy window that asks to install the Saxy.ttf jumps.
I have tried to install it in every way and nothing, the message keeps jumping.
Could it be that the font is not optimized for Mac, that it is only optimized for PC?
Well, grace.

Sorry, I just fixed the problem. An older version of the plugin used the font Fiati for the diagrams, and when switching I forgot to change the check to use Saxy instead. So Saxy was used to render the diagrams, but it was saxy that was checked whether it was installed.

Thank you very much Marr11317,
Your work as programmers is fundamental, ours as users is to support them as much as possible. I show you four images of the operation of the plugin for the four base saxophones.
Thank you very much again, happy Christmas holidays and a happy new year 2021!
Success and forward that we will support you, and we will contribute.
a greeting
In reply to Thank you very much… by jullyamspuig
The images correspond to:
Soprano, alto, tenor, baritone
Many thanks

Glad it works for you now ;)
If you want the diagrams bigger, simply make the font bigger.

Hi,
I try to make run you plugin but nothing appear.
I am on linux debian 11 and the fonts are installed.
If i run musescore on a terminal i have:
qml: 0 - 0 - 1920
qml: 64
qml: 65
qml: 67
qml: 65
It's the selected notes where i would like the diagrams i guess.
I tried your plugins on windows and it's fine.
Do you know what is the problem ?
Thanks for your help.
