Hi all,
I am engraving a leadsheet for a song. It includes section labels
(verse, chorus etc.), chords, and text annotations (as "clap") – all
above the staff. Unfortunately, the position of the different text seems
arbitrary.
Here is a snippet:
\version "2.24.1"
chordNames = \chordmode {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\sectionLabel "Intro"
a1:m f g e:m
\sectionLabel "Strophe 1"
a1:m a:m
}
melody = \relative c'' {
\sectionLabel "Intro"
<< {s1*4}
\new CueVoice {a2.^"kbd." b8 c f,2. b8 c d2. c4 g1}
>> \bar "||"
\sectionLabel "Strophe 1"
\override NoteHead.style = #'cross
\repeat percent 2 {r8 c^"klatschen" r c r c r c}
\revert NoteHead.style
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \chordNames
\new Staff { \melody }
>>
\layout { }
}
And the result:
Another one further into the score (the code is identical, just the
spacing is different):
I’d like the texts to appear as in the "Strophe 1" case: section labels
(horizontally aligned) above chords above annotations.
Furthermore, it would be great if section labels stood out a little more
by choosing a different font, bold or cursive style. Is it possible to
change the font for section labels globally?
Regards,
Immanuel
