Well, yes.
And that's why I do not understand:
%% not working:
\layout {
\context {
\Score
chordNameExceptions = \myException
}
}
%% works:
\layout {
\set Score.chordNameExceptions = \myException
}
%% Setting it in the music like below works as well:
\new ChordGrid \chordmode {
\set Score.chordNameExceptions = \myException
c1:1.3.5+
}
