Spacing between Lyrics and Chordnames
Hi everyone!
I'm trying to increase the spacing between the bottom line of lyrics and
the ChordNames in the next system.
My score looks like the MWE below. I played with example below and even
without the ChordNames, the override doesn't behave as I expected it would.
I checked the IR and it says nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding is
set, so I assumed changing it would change the distance.
I also tried setting the same setting on ChordNames, but it similarly had
no effect on the spacing.
%%% MWE
\version "2.23.8"
\score {
<<
%\new ChordNames { \repeat unfold 4 { c1 c f g } }
\new Staff { \new Voice = "vox" \repeat unfold 16 { c'2 e'4 g' } }
\new Lyrics = A \lyricsto "vox" { \lyricmode { Line __ _ _ _ one,
_ _ _ line one! } }
%\new Lyrics = B \lyricsto "vox" { \lyricmode { Line __ _ _ _ two,
_ _ _ line two! } }
%\new Lyrics = C \lyricsto "vox" { \lyricmode { Line __ _ _ _
three, _ _ _ line three! } }
%\new Lyrics = D \lyricsto "vox" { \lyricmode { Line __ _ _ _
four, _ _ _ line four! } }
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override VerticalAxisGroup.
nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #5
\override VerticalAxisGroup.
nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding = #5
}
}
}
%% END MWE %%

Can anyone make any suggestions to help me increase the space from the
bottom of the lyrics of one system and the top of the next system?
Thanks!
Regards,
Randy

Thank you so much Harm and Aaron for your code and suggestions. I'll give
them a try and see how it goes. These code examples are informative to me —
I do appreciate them!
(By the way, I switched to a daily digest for lilypond-user emails and I'm
not sure about how replies work from them. I've made mistakes with how
replies to a list work before, so I apologize if I've done it again.)

adding chordmode chord modifiers
Hi list, Using my extremely limited general programming knowledge, I found in the scheme file chord-entry.scm that the chord modifiers m, maj, sus, and so on are defined. Is it possible to add to this list? I want to write "add9" chords like `c:add9`, which would be equivalent to writing `` or `c:3.5.9` in chordmode (plus the chord exceptions snippet in the NM to add the "add"). However, the latter methods are too verbose for me. My use case is for printing chord symbols above the staff in a lead sheet. I checked the snippets repository for "chord modifier", "chord*", and "add9", but I didn't see anything relevant. Is there a way to create the "c:add9" syntax to get "Cadd9" to print as a chord symbol? Any help would be appreciated! Regards, Randy
Re: Your Bespoke Lilypond Environment
Here's something I cooked up that works for me, though I'm not an avid user: * vis text editor * abduco + dvtm for arranging terminal windows and attach/detach * entr for watching files [2] * redo for building PDFs [1] * mupdf * —and dwm on Arch Linux for tiling all my windows Probably not the most efficient, but mupdf reloads the document on HUP signal, so I put that in my build script to see the result whenever I save. I use a similar setup for pretty much everything else (finances, web dev, even at my job as a teacher).

Re: chordChanges = ##t in an include file
Hi Lukas, indeed that's the solution. I knew it had to be something simple.
Thank you!

chordChanges = ##t in an include file
Hi list!
I'm trying to figure out how to set chordChanges to true in an include file,
like so:
% def.ily %
\version "2.20.0"
\layout {
\context {
\ChordNames
\set chordChanges = ##t
}
}
%%
% score.ly %
\version "2.20.0"
\include "def.ily"
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames = "chords" {
\chordmode {
c1 | c | f | c |
}
}
>>
}
%%%
This returns an error: "unexpected \set". If I move the \context out of a
layout block, then it adds extra space above the "chords" staff, but doesn't
solve the problem.
My goal's to create a sort of "stylesheet" as mentioned in the Learning Manual.
I know I could write `c1 | s1 | f | c` or just write it in every score, but I
guess I want to be lazy.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Regards,
Randy

Guitar string bends
Hi all, (Sorry for the duplicate, I didn't know how I replied created issues for others.) What's the state of Lilypond's support for notating bends in guitar music? I've read ["The Story of 'String Bending' in Lilypond"][1] on the Lilypond blog, and that seemed promising, but it seems work on the new bend engraver has stopped. I'm interested specifically in the angled lines that indicate bends in the regular staff, more or less like what is shown in the attached PDF (from [issue 1196][2] mentioned in the blog post). If it's not there yet, I can always use some other notation to indicate bending---after all, I'm only using Lilypond to do some transcriptions and lead sheets for myself---but it would be a good feature. To me, it's also probably the only significant shortcoming of Lilypond. Hoping for good news! If there's anything I can do to help, I'll do what I can, although my coding skills are kinda basic.
