It looks like the goal is to create alternative chords in a different key, e.g for a guitar with a capo on the 3rd fret.
A function to put chordnames into parentheses (better than \parenthesize) can be found here: http://www.lilypondforum.de/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=54 Here is what I would try: % ----------------------------------------------------------------------- \version "2.19.25" #(define (parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context) (markup #:line ( "(" (ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context) ")" ))) klamm = #(define-music-function (parser location griffe) (ly:music?) #{ \set chordNameFunction = #parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names $griffe \set chordNameFunction = #ignatzek-chord-names #}) \score { << \new ChordNames \chordmode { c2 c/e f g } \new ChordNames \transpose c a \chordmode { \klamm { c2 c/e f g } } \new Staff \relative c'' { c2 c a4 c b2 } >> } \score { << \new ChordNames \chordmode { c16 \klamm a4.. c16/e \klamm a4../cis f16 \klamm d4.. g16 \klamm e4.. } \new Staff \relative c'' { c2 c a4 c b2 } >> } % ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers, Klaus -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/creating-chords-like-F-A-D-F-with-chordmode-tp188466p188473.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
