The end result would be like in the attached code but instead of the text being attached to the note, I would like it to be attached to the chord name.
\version "2.24.4" melody = \relative c' { b'1^"0 2 2 0 0 0" } myChords = \chordmode { e1:m } \score { << \new ChordNames \myChords \new Staff \melody >> \layout { \override TextScript.font-size = -2 \override TextScript.color = #blue \override TextScript.X-offset = #-2 \textLengthOn } } Le 13 mars 2025 à 20:27, Knute Snortum <ksnor...@gmail.com> a écrit : On Thu, Mar 13, 2025 at 3:47 PM Eric C <e.a...@outlook.com<mailto:e.a...@outlook.com>> wrote: Hello, I'm trying to place a short text with a chord symbol. I can work around this by attaching the text to a note, but that's not my goal. Here's an exemple what I'm trying to do: CMaj7 x 3 5 4 5 x This text represents the fingering of the CMaj7 at the 3rd fret of the guitar. It would be great to be able to have annotations in the boxes of a harmonic grid. I searched the manual and found nothing. Many thanks for your help. Eric Do you want actual fretboards? LilyPond can do that: %%% \version "2.24.4" \include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly<http://predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly>" myChords = \chordmode { a fis:m d e b:m } \score { << \new ChordNames { \myChords } \new FretBoards { \myChords } >> } %%% -- Knute Snortum
