I tend to favor diagrams with low fret numbers and muted strings at either the top or the bottom, rather than in the middle. Hello Carl, hello guitarists out there ;-) sorry for joining so late in this discussion - I think that the voicings b) and c) are very useful and sound good, whereas these mentioned in a) are way too complicated to use, and if you use the short form with the lowest four strings, they do not sound convincing. Since I mostly have to use a dim7, I am not sure which voicing would be more universal, though. Regards, Marc Any recommendations?

RE: How do you tell tempo for indications in English
Hello, -Original Message- From: lilypond-user-bounces+james.lowe=datacore@gnu.org [mailto:lilypond-user-bounces+james.lowe=datacore@gnu.org] On Behalf Of Patrick Horgan Sent: 02 February 2011 21:53 To: 'Mailinglist lilypond-user' Subject: Re: How do you tell tempo for indications in English So what you're saying is that you really don't know. No, what I am saying is there is no definite answer. You can look in a dozen different places and you will get a different tempo (even for established tempos like 'Andante'), sure you will get a range of tempo but that is someone else's guess. The ideal tempo is the one that you (or your ensemble) are most comfortable playing at and the one which suits the time and the place. Go and listen to some of the music you are intending on setting and tap the rhythm and see how many 'beats per minute' you get and there's your tempo. Seriously, you want someone to give you a tempo for 'cheerfully' or 'with feeling'? These are not tempos but are 'ways' of playing. Music isn't an exact science it's always about feeling. Play the speed that 'sounds' good to you. That is the correct tempo. James ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You can't have anything between the closing brace of one and the opening brace of another. Move the barchecks inside the braces. -- Nick is correct, and we have updated the newer version of the documentation explaining this so hopefully other users won't make the same mistake.

Re: guitarist: how write chord names like Gadd5
2011/2/1 Tim McNamara tim...@bitstream.net Jazz guitarist and Lilypond user here. I would call that a G(no 3rd) I'd say that it's a Gsus chord. It means basically the same: a chord with no third. Usually the third is replaced by a fourth or a second: Gsus2 = g a d, Gsus4 = g c d, So to me it seems perfectly natural to write Gsus = g d. LilyPond accepts g:sus as an input, but prints G as the name of the chord, without sus. 2011/2/3 David Raleigh Arnold d...@openguitar.com: The whole idea of chord names is that one G is the same as another. A few extensions have come in over the years, the most important being the slash bass. So, because there is a need to distinguish between G and G/B (they sound quite different!), i'd say that there is a reason to distinguish between g b d and g b d d'. I'd even say that it would make sense to write explicit treble notes in superscript, for example C^E would mean c e g e'. Either populate your score with diagrams or tab or write out what you want. There is no need to mess with the regular chord names. You will find that useless innovations which are doomed to obsolescence are not appreciated, and even less appreciated if they require explanation. ? At least on the guitar, Gadd5, G5, G12 are self-explanatory! In my opinion it's obvious that they mean: add a fifth somewhere in the treble range. cheers, Janek ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

It means basically the same: a chord with no third. Usually the third is replaced by a fourth or a second: Gsus2 = g a d, Gsus4 = g c d, The 3rd is replaced by either the major 2nd or the perfect 4th; that is part of the definition of a sus chord which needs to specify which note is being added in place of the 3rd. So to me it seems perfectly natural to write Gsus = g d. But incorrect. g d is not a chord, it is a double stop. LilyPond accepts g:sus as an input, but prints G as the name of the chord, without sus. As it should, since the note replacing the 3rd should be specified.

Gadd5, G5 and G12 seem like nonsense to me aimed at accommodating rock power chords which aren't really chords. I don't think it does any service to have Lilypond perpetuate incorrect nomenclature. If the user wants chord charts that show the explicit voicing desired, then IMHO that voicing should be written out in proper chord form g, b d g d' g' and Lilypond should place those notes in the diagram correctly. This is much simpler than trying to make Lilypond guess what is meant by some non-standard nomenclature like g1:add5. That way lies madness for the people writing the Lilypond code base. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
