Re: Expressive marks and markup in chordmode

Hi Stefan,

Here are some ideas that might point you in the right direction?

%%%  SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.25.1"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \override RehearsalMark.padding = #3
  }
  \context {
    \ChordNames
    \consists "Bar_engraver"
    \override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2)
    \consists "Script_engraver"
    \override Script.X-offset = #0.75
    \override Script.Y-offset = #3
  }
}

#(define-bar-line ".|:" ".|:" ".|:" ".|:")

global = {
  \repeat volta 4 {
    \bar".|:"
    s1*4
  }
  \once \override Score.BarLine.extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 1)
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #0.5
  <>\mark \markup "4x"
  s1
  \bar "|."
}

theChords = \chordmode  {
  \repeat volta 4 {
    d2 g2  |
    b2:m a2  |
    d2 g2 |
    b2:m a2  |
  }
  d1^\fermata
}    

\new ChordNames << \global \theChords >>
%%%  SNIPPET ENDS

Cheers,
Kieren.
