Here is a solution from the german forum http://www.lilypondforum.de/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=54 There is a \paren command for a single chord, and the pair of \leftParen \rightParen for multiple chords. Note that the right paren command comes before the last chord. \version "2.19.15" #(define (parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context) (markup #:line ( "(" (ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context) ")" ))) #(define (left-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context) (markup #:line ( "(" (ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context) ))) #(define (right-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context) (markup #:line ( (ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context) ")" ))) paren = #(define-music-function (parser location griffe) (ly:music?) #{ \set chordNameFunction = #parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names $griffe \set chordNameFunction = #ignatzek-chord-names #}) leftParen = #(define-music-function (parser location griffe) (ly:music?) #{ \set chordNameFunction = #left-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names $griffe \set chordNameFunction = #ignatzek-chord-names #}) rightParen = #(define-music-function (parser location griffe) (ly:music?) #{ \set chordNameFunction = #right-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names $griffe \set chordNameFunction = #ignatzek-chord-names #}) \new ChordNames \chordmode { c2:maj7 \paren a:7 | d:m g:7 | c1 | \leftParen es4:m7 aes:7 d:m \rightParen g:7 } HTH, David Elaine Alt 415 . 341 .4954 <%28415%29%20341-4954> "*Confusion is highly underrated*" ela...@flaminghakama.com self-immolation.info skype: flaming_hakama Producer ~ Composer ~ Instrumentalist -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
