Thank you, Aaron
This code worked, thanks...
\version "2.22.0"
customChordNames = {
<c ees ges bes>
-\markup \concat { m \super { 7 ( \flat 5 ) } }
}
customChordNameExceptions = #(append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
customChordNames
#t)
ignatzekExceptions)
\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
d:m7.5-
\set chordNameExceptions =
#customChordNameExceptions
d:m7.5-
}
I should have posted what I was trying to do. My mistake. It was pretty
similar. I don´t know if the position where the customChordNames in the
document matters. Something I missed.
Anyway, thanks again. Much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Gabriel Borin
