For flamenco guitar, special notation is used:

* a ''golpe'' symbol to indicate a slap on the guitar body with the nail of the ring finger
* an arrow to indicate (the direction of) strokes
* different letters for fingering (“p”: thumb, “i”: index finger, “m”: middle finger, “a”: ring finger and “x”: little finger)
* 3- and 4-finger ''rasgueados''; stroke upwards with all fingers, ending with an up- and down using the index finger
* ''abanicos'': strokes (in tuples) with thumb (down), little and index finger (both up). There's also an ''abanico 2'' where middle and ring finger are used instead of the little finger.
* ''alza pua'': fast playing with the thumb

Most figures use arrows in combination with fingering; with abanicos and rasgueados, noteheads are printed only for the first chord.

This snippet contains some header-like code that can be copied as <code>flamenco.ly</code> and included in source files.
