Good evening,
I'm working on a lead sheet and I would like to show chord diagrams at
the top of the page, as opposed to showing them over the staff for every
chord. Here's a simplified version of my score...
\version "2.19.11"
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
global = {
\time 4/4
\override Staff.TimeSignature.style = #'()
\key e \major
\tempo 4=120
}
% Insert blank line
\markup {
\fill-line {
\center-column {
" "
}
}
}
% Define fretboard diagrams
mychorddiagrams = \chordmode {
b1 a
}
<<
\context ChordNames {
\mychorddiagrams
}
\context FretBoards {
\override FretBoards.FretBoard.size = #'1.2
\mychorddiagrams
}
>>
% Define chords
chordNames = \chordmode {
\override ChordName.font-size = #2
\global
% Section A
b1*2 a1*2
}
% Define melody
melody = \relative c'' {
\global
% Start of section A
\mark \markup{ \tiny \box A }
% bars 1-4
r2 b8 cis dis fis8~ | fis4. fis8~fis8 e8 dis4 | e8 e dis b~b2 | a8 a
gis a~a gis e4 | \break
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \chordNames
\new Staff { \melody }
>>
\layout { indent = 0.0\cm }
\midi { }
}
This is working fine except for one thing. I would like to center the
chord diagrams horizontally on the page. I tried with the markup syntax
that works for text but wasn't successful. Is this possible?
While we're at it, is there a more elegant way to leave a bit of extra
space above or below the chord diagrams? I can insert a blank line but
there has to be a better way.
Thanks for your help.
