not pretty, but effective...
#(define (kludge grob)
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text "foo")
(ly:text-interface::print grob))
\new ChordNames \chordmode {
a b c:7
\once \override ChordNames . ChordName #'stencil =
#(ly:make-unpure-pure-container kludge (lambda (grob b e) (kludge grob)))
d
}
The reason we can't just override the text property is because it is junked and
reset internally in LilyPond.
The unpure-pure-container makes sure that the chord is taken into account in
horizontal spacing calculations. Anytime you override a stencil, try to use an
unpure-pure-container.
Cheers,
MS
