Nathan already pointed you to the documented way how to customize chord names. Though, "a:m7.5-" is already part of 'ignatzekExceptions'. You can ofcourse put it in your own wish. If you want _exactly_ the same output as for default-chords you will have some difficulties to adjust it. Better to remove the settings for chords like "a:m7.5-" from 'ignatzekExceptions': chExceptions = #(remove (lambda (e) (equal? (car e) (cdr (event-chord-pitches #{ <c' ees' ges' bes'> #})))) ignatzekExceptions) \new ChordNames \chordmode { \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions a:m5-.7 a:m5-.7 } or for one-time-use, set 'chordNameExceptions' to an empty list: \new ChordNames \chordmode { \once \set chordNameExceptions = #'() a:m5-.7 a:m5-.7 } Cheers, Harm
