Please, as a niave user I struggling to understand chords in traditional music.
Why is it that timidity plays these chords OK in the first tune part, but only the first chord in the 2nd part: \version "2.18.2" %lilypond - to keep the midi.bash happy\version "2.7.40" \header { composer = "Andrew Swaine" crossRefNumber = "1" footnotes = "" tagline = "Lily was here 2.18.2 -- automatically converted from ABC" title = "Easter Snow Mazurka (ly)" } melody = { \override Score.BarNumber.break-visibility = ##(#t #t #t) \set Score.currentBarNumber = #1 \time 3/4 \tempo 4 = 120 %\autobeam on \relative c' { \key d \major \time 3/4 \repeat volta 2 { b'8.[ cis16~] cis8. d16 ~ d8. fis16 %% \bar "|" e8. fis16 e8. d16 cis8. b16 %% \bar "|" ais8. b16 ~ b8. cis16 ~ cis8. fis,16 %% \bar "|" d'8. cis16 b8. d16 cis8. ^A fis,16 %% \bar "|" b8. cis16 ~ cis8. d16 ~ d8. fis16 %% \bar "|" e8. fis16 e8. d16 cis8. e16 %% \bar "|" fis8. g16 fis8. e16 d8. cis16 %% \bar "|" b4 b'4 -. r4 } \repeat volta 2 { g8. fis16~ fis8. e16 e8. d16 %% \bar "|" cis8. d16 e8. g16 fis8. e16 %% \bar "|" fis8. e16 ~ e8. d16 ~ d8. cis16 %% \bar "|" b8. cis16 d8. fis16 e8. d16 %% \bar "|" e8. d16 ~ d8. cis16 ~ cis8. b16 %% \bar "|" ais8. b16 cis8. e16 d8. cis16 %% \bar "|" b8. ais16 b8. d16 cis8. ais16 } \alternative{ { b8. cis16 dis8. b16 dis8. fis16 } { b,4 r8. fis16 ( g8. fis16 ^>)} } } } harmonies = \chordmode { b2.:min g:maj fis g4 r a b2.:min e:min fis b:min e:min a d g e:min f b:min % alternatives b b:min } final = { << \new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##t \harmonies } \new Voice = "one" { \melody } >> } \score { \final \layout { } } \score { \unfoldRepeats { \final } \midi{} } -- Thanks. ____________________________ Joe McCool CEng, MIMarEST, SMIEEE www.tangentengineering.co. <http://www.tangentengineering.co.uk>uk (44)7802572441
