Amidst all the confusion and alternative approach debate, it seems like no one has provided the standard answer for how to do this. More details and explanation are at my blog post on this topic: http://flaminghakama.com/flaming-lilypond-chords Here's the general way to specify the chord symbols you’d like to use: 1. Define your chord exceptions (the chord patterns for which you want to change the chord symbols; in your case, the dominant 13 chord) 2. Append your exceptions to ignatzekExceptions to the exceptions list 3. When entering chords in \chordmode, set the chordNameExceptions to your chord exceptions list \version "2.19.15" myChordExceptions = { % Dominant 13 chord <c e g bes d' a'>1-\markup { \raise #1.0 { \small 13 } } } chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions myChordExceptions #t) ignatzekExceptions) originalChordSequence = \chordmode { \set chordChanges = ##t c1:13 } myChordSequence = \chordmode { \set chordChanges = ##t \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions c1:13 } myMelody = \relative c'' { a8 ( bes a2. ) } \score { \new StaffGroup << \new ChordNames \originalChordSequence \new Staff { \myMelody } >> } \score { \new StaffGroup << \new ChordNames \myChordSequence \new Staff { \myMelody } >> } HTH, David Elaine Alt 415 . 341 .4954 "*Confusion is highly underrated*" ela...@flaminghakama.com self-immolation.info skype: flaming_hakama Producer ~ Composer ~ Instrumentalist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
