The local structure of the hard-disk fluid is studied across its melting transition by means of Monte Carlo simulations and measurement of a local order parameter. Evidence for a linear behavior of this quantity in an intermediate density range is found, as well as indications for a possible ensemble difference between constant volume and constant pressure simulations within the presently accessible system sizes.
