Not per default, thus no docs about it. But this was asked before: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Nashville-notation-as-chord-symbols-tt176784.html#none this thread was broken, continue here: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Re-Nashville-notation-as-chord-symbols-tt177872.html regrettable my post here http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Re-Nashville-notation-as-chord-symbols-td177872i20.html#a178127 was unanswered, so I stopped further coding. It may be a starting point, though. > 2) Can Lilypond do fakebook style slashes? > > I found both of these here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_chart If I understand correctly you mean a certain NoteHead-style in rhythm notation and simple slashes. I think we provide a method to do slashes in the NR Changing the note-head-style shouldn't be a big problem as well. > 3) How far has anyone gotten in midi -> lilypond translation?
