Edit:
I became aware of chordNameExceptions just after posting, and it might be
the solution to my problem. However, I do not understand how the snippet
in the manual
<https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/snippets/chords_003a-chord-name-exceptions>
works. More precisely, I do not understand the second block of code:
% Convert music to list and prepend to existing
exceptions.chExceptions = #(append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
ignatzekExceptions)
2. Unsurprisingly, given my cluelessness about the code above, it took me
several tries before my clumsy attempts succeeded. Can anyone explain to me
why it works?
MWE:
\version "2.24.0"
\language "english"
chExceptionMusic = {
<c ef gf bf f'>1-\markup { \super "ø add11" }
}
chExceptions = #(append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
ignatzekExceptions)
\layout {
\set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
}
songHarmony = \relative c' {\chordmode
{d2:m7.5-/f d2:m7.5-.11}}
\new Score <<
\new ChordNames {\songHarmony}
\new Staff
\relative c' {f2 d2}
>>
