The automation currently available for diatonic accordion sucks (not even sucks and blows). There is a quasi-ancient example in the manual at <URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/templates#templates-score-for-diatonic-accordion>. The input to use with that template is dissatisfactory, but you were asking about the output first. And while Guile/Scheme is not the same as Lua, it's certainly a good tool to program input transformations in. > Here's an example[1] of the type of scores I would want to typeset (except > that these only mention the button name without the finger number): Your example is not present in the plain text rendition of the mail, consequently few people on the list will see it. Try doing a proper Mime attachment, preferably as an in-line part. In general, avoid HTML mails to the list: many people will not be able to read them and the list archives will usually not archive them well. I'd have extracted the image for the sake of other readers but cannot really figure out how to do this from in-buffer rendered HTML inside of Emacs. If you are willing to invest some time (and prod the list for help for individual problems: there are a lot of very helpful people and capable around here) I am pretty sure that LilyPond can get a lot better for diatonics than it is now. I never got around to investing more time here myself (and play exclusively chromatic button accordion these days), but there is quite a lot of potential for good return on moderate investment of time. As an initial keyword to look for: you'll want to go with a ChordNames context or Lyrics for aligned material I think. I'd suggest taking a look at the example in the manual I gave first and see whether its approach is suitable for adapting to your needs. Nice to see you here!
