Hi,
As part of a teaching aid, I have the C major scale and the seven main chords
that I then want to transpose to other keys.
The code I have so far works well, but I'm having difficulty getting Lilypond
to
keep the transposed chords in the right range. For instance, in C major the
first two chords I have are C and F, with the F chord higher than the C. But
when it is transposed to G major, the G chord is in the right range, but the C
goes up to the next octave instead of down. I understand this is standard
Lilypond behaviour, but is there any way of overriding it? I've tried \relative
commands in various places but to no avail. A minimal example of what I have is
here:
\version "2.12.3"
thechords = \chordmode {
c2 f
}
scale = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 4/4
c4 d e f g a b c \chordmode {\thechords}
}
\score {
\new Staff {
\scale
\transpose c g {\scale}
}
}
\layout{ }
What I want is the last C chord to be the same as the first. Is this possible?
I
did think about writing each chord sequence manually but that sort of defeats
the point...
-John
