I also use LIly to print jazz charts (see http://www.bearteam.org/~laurent/partitions/) and I also encountered a few problems in the area of chords. I fixed some of them, but some chords still have strange names. Here's what I use : #(define chord::names-alist-jazz (append '( (((0 . 0) (2 . -1)) . ("m")) ;; some fixups -- jcn ; major seventh chord = triangle (((0 . 0) (2 . 0) (4 . 0) (6 . 0)) . ("$^\\Delta$")) (((0 . 0) (2 . -1) (4 . 0) (6 . -1)) . (("$-$"))) (((0 . 0) (2 . -1) (4 . 0) (5 . 0)) . (("$-$6"))) (((0 . 0) (2 . 0) (4 . 0) (6 . -1) (1 . -1)) . ("7" ((raise . 0.8) ((font-relative-size . -2)(music (named ("accidentals--1")))) "9"))) (((0 . 0) (2 . 0) (4 . 0) (6 . -1) (1 . 1)) . ("7" ((raise . 0.8) "+9"))) (((0 . 0) (2 . 0) (6 . -1) (3 . 1)) . ("7" ((raise . 0.8) "+4"))) ;; (((0 . 0) (2 . 0) (4 . 0) (6 . 0)) . (((raise . 0.5)((font-family . math) "M")))) ;; minor major seventh chord = m triangle (((0 . 0) (2 . -1) (4 . 0) (6 . 0)) . (columns ("m") ((raise . 0.5)((font-family . math) "M")))) ;; (((0 . 0) (2 . -1) (4 . 0) (6 . 0)) . (columns ("m") ((raise . 0.5)((font-family . math) "M")))) ) ;; '())) chord::names-alist-american)) -- Laurent Martelli [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bearteam.org/~laurent/ _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
