These functions may be used to automatically add fingering diagrams and reformatted note names to tin whistle music, with the whistle referred to being the common D whistle.

The fingering diagram function makes no attempt to deal with alternate fingerings. It is strictly one diagram per note, doing a fairly simple, straight forward one to one substitution.

The reformatted note names are in line with what I'm told the local tin whistle players expect - the lower octave being printed in upper case, and the upper octave printed in lower case with a plus sign underneath the note name, with the topmost D getting 2 plus signs.

Typically I use this code in combination with the tiedNoteToSkip function from http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=760 to avoid having the note name printed again for a tied note. Simply use each function as described in their descriptions, and (so far, at least) they work just fine with each other.
