Don't rely too much in this... Nein, false relation is where you have two successive chords, where a note of the first is inflected with an accidental to become a note of the second chord, and this happens in different parts. So if D minor is followed by D major, the F to F# should happen in the same voice, to avoid 'false relation'. Yes, cromatic false relation. The other is tritone false relation.

Strangely, once the shortcut is moved to the desktop (C:\Users\Daisy\Desktop), it works perfectly - even though the program itself is on the D drive. There's probably some instructions somewhere that say that the shortcut MUST be on the desktop - it's just a bit weird as it seems to be only Windows7 that creates this behaviour.

guitarist: how write chord names like Gadd5
Hello, I want to write down guitar chords and frets with extra voicings, say a G chord with an extra Fifth on the B string, 3rd fret, or Em chord with an extra G on the treble e string. As these extra notes belong to the chords, you can write g:5, but Lilypond ignores the :5 and prints only G, and the G fret diagram gets overwritten by the G:5 fret diagram. Is there any best practice how to use and print such extra chord names, anyway? TIA Jürgen ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Since G5 isn't really a chord (it's either redundant to specify the 5th because the 5th is already part of the chord or you want to actually play a perfect fifth double-stop rather than a chord) I am not surprised that the results are odd. What you appear to be wanting is often called a slash chord which is usually a triad or tetrad over a specific bass note. It is denoted by a slash between the chord and the bass note (different from a polychord which is usually denoted as two triads stacked, separated by a horizontal line). You'll find more in the documentation under \chordmode, but the short answer for entering the chord name with a specific bass note is: g:1/d to produce G/D e1:min/g to produce Emin/G etc. I have no idea how to get those as correct chord diagrams as I don't use that feature.

Re: guitarist: how write chord names like Gadd5
Hello, to be more precisely: no power chords, no slash chords. Just for example an extra fifth to the g major chord (which may be redundant but gives another voicing). When the fret diagram for the G chord is 320003 (not lilypond syntax, but you may know what I mean), the G chord with the extra fifth is 320033 which is still G with nothing added, but on the guitar it sounds very different, more straight, more energic. while Lilypond print both cords (G and, say G:5) als plain G, I want different names printed , G5 or Gadd5 or whatever. Any guitarists or jazz musicians on board? How do you do that, or does my question make no sense at all?

Re: guitarist: how write chord names like Gadd5
Many answers. Thanks to everybody. David, Marc, I built my own predefined diagrams, like these: \storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode {g} #guitar-tuning #3-2;x;o;o;o;x; \storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode {g'} #guitar-tuning #3-2;x;o;o;3-3;x; As you can't have more than one diagram with the same name, I helped myself calling the first one g and the second one g'. Printing the score, both diagrams will be printed as g, same name for two different diagrams. What I need is having two different chord names in the printed output, just as if the added redundant fifth were a chord extension (Of course I know that it still an ordinary G chord, no power chord, no extension. Tim, maybe I'm wrong, the chord 320033 HAS a third (B on the A string), although I simpley don't play it in that special fingerstyle situation. That's the reason for the x in my two predefined diagrams. So... my question still is, how can I tell Lilypond to print another name for the second chord diagram? I want my score to tell the guitarist, now play the ordinary G chord 320003, and now play the G chord with the added fifth, 320033. And I want hin to distinguish between the two voicings not only by the fret diagram but also by a different name, like Gadd5 or G5 or whatever may be appropriate. Please note that I don't think of using markups, because they won't transpose. Hope I made myself clear, as I am not a native English or American speaker, and describing these matters in English is, hmmm, a bit special for me.

Got a book to write and at the moment I just have to modify the diagrams I need at the moment. As I got ready to implement this in the LilyPond distribution, it occurred to me that this solves your problem, but not necessarily the fundamental problem. The fundamental problem right now is that the current diagrams have only a dim chord, which might be either a dim7 or a dim5 chord (and since I entered them, I can say with a surety that I don't know which chords are which). In my opinion it's clear that we should have both :dim and :dim7 chords in the predefined diagram. I'll be happy to take the responsibility of getting them in properly, but I'd someone more qualified than me to give me the terse-format diagram strings with fingering, based on the standard guitar tuning. So, anybody willing to fill in the following table? c:dimx;3-4;1-1;o;1-2;o; c:dim7 x;x;1-1;2-3;1-2;2-4; cis:dimx;4-4;2-3;1-1;2-2;1-1; cis:dim7 offset c:dim7 one fret d:dim d:dim7 x;x;o;1-1;o;1-2; dis:dim2-2;o;1-1;2-3;x;2-4; dis:dim7x;x;1-1;2-3;1-2;2-4; e:dim e:dim7offset dis:dim7 one fret f:dim f:dim7x;x;o;1-1;o;1-2; fis:dim fis:dim7same as dis:dim7 g:dim g:dim7x;x;5-2;6-4;5-3;3-1; gis:dim gis:dim7 same as f:dim7 a:dim a:dim7 same as ees:dim7 ais:dim ais:dim7 offset ees:dim7 one fret b:dim b:dim7 same as d:dim7 Thanks, Carl ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
How do you tell tempo for indications in English
I'm setting some of O'Neill's Irish tunes, and the tempo indications are (a selection): Animated, Boldly, Cheerful, Cheerfully, Gaily, Gracefully, Moderate, Plaintive, Plaintively, Playful, Playfully, Rather slow, Slow, Slow and distinctly, Slow and mournful, Slow and tenderly, Slow and with feeling, Slow with expression, Slow and feeling, Spirited, Tenderly, Very slow, With animation, With expression, With feeling, With spirit What do you do with that? I can find tables of usual tempo ranges for italian tempo indications, but I have no idea what to do with these. I'd like them to be authentic, in that the midi file would be about as fast as the tune would usually be played in an Irish pub. Does anyone have any ideas?
