Re: How to remove all notes and only show Chords and Lyrics?
Hi all, It is a quite good solution for now, and as you said, inter-lyric gaps are still there. For my current situation I could live with it, but it's far from perfect. I can reduce the spacing between the system to a very small amount via (padding . 0.0) in system-system-spacing. But then the distance between chords and the corresponding lyrics is relatively big (like setting the above padding to 2.0). Which spacing setting can be used to reduce this spacing?

Re: How to remove all notes and only show Chords and Lyrics?
Hi Kieren,
we're coming closer! But running your snippet as-is through lilypond I still
have some
gaps (see attached screenshot).
Now they are (probably) no more between chords and lyrics but between the whole
lines.
Using annotate-spacing I see that there is a greater "extra dist
(system-system-spacing)"
between some lines. In most lines it is less than 2, but the two gaps have 5.21
or 27.86.
How can I reduce those? I can't find a reason for those gaps being that big ...
Kind regards
Dominic

Re: How to remove all notes and only show Chords and Lyrics?
Hi Jaap,
this is really great! It is now very close to what I need (but better without
the use of
LyricText.Y-offset).
Now I have the problem that in *some* lines the chords are very far away from
the lyrics
whereas in most lines, they are positioned very well.
Do you have any idea what's the reason for this and how I could solve it?
Kind regards
Dominic

Re: How to remove all notes and only show Chords and Lyrics?
Hi Kieren,
thanks for this hint. I checked it and it looks *quite* good, but there is a
problem that
chords are out of alignment.
I created a "minimal" example (which doesn't fit into ten lines because of the
layout
setup part) you can find attached and the result.
As you can see, the chords in the second version (without notes) are always a
bit late,
they should appear more to the left.
Do you have an idea how to solve this?
Best regards
Dominic

Re: How to remove all notes and only show Chords and Lyrics?
This is really quite close, but can I remove that horizontal line and bring the
chords and
lyrics closer together?

How to remove all notes and only show Chords and Lyrics?
Hi,
in a special case I need a "score" with notes, only chords and lyrics. A basic
example is
this:
\version "2.19.82"
\score { <<
\new ChordNames { s4 f2 c }
\new Staff {
\relative c' {
\partial 4
\time 4/4
\key f \major
f8 g | f4. e16 d e c8~ c4
}
}
\addlyrics { It's not time to make a change, }
>> }
I want the notes and clefs and barlines etc. (the whole staff) not to be shown,
but the
lyrics should still take the time the notes have. In this little example, the
result
should look something like this:
F C
It's not time to make a change,
or see my attached image.
How can I achieve this? (Maybe with the least effort on changing the input as
it is a long
song.)
Kind regards
Dominic
