  Hi William,

  Have a look at
 http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/displaying-chords#customizing-chord-names,
 which contains all the info you'll need for customizing the chord name
 system.

 Hi William,

Nathan already pointed you to the documented way how to customize chord
names.

Though,  a:m7.5- is already part of 'ignatzekExceptions'. You can
ofcourse put it in your own wish. If you want _exactly_ the same output as
for default-chords you will have some difficulties to adjust it.

Better to remove the settings for chords like a:m7.5- from
'ignatzekExceptions':

chExceptions =
#(remove
  (lambda (e)
   (equal?
(car e)
(cdr (event-chord-pitches #{ c' ees' ges' bes' #}
  ignatzekExceptions)

\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
\set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
a:m5-.7
a:m5-.7
}


or for one-time-use, set 'chordNameExceptions' to an empty list:


\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
\once \set chordNameExceptions = #'()
a:m5-.7
a:m5-.7
}



Cheers,
  Harm

Harm,
I read the docs as suggested by Nathan, and discovered other things 
of value.  But the exact solution evaded me.  You have suggested my next 
area of exploration.  Looks promising.  Thanks!

A Chord Question

2015-06-21 Thread William Marchant
Using the \chordmode function,  when I enter a:m7.5-  I get as shown 
in the documentation.


The guitarist in our group would very much like to stay with the 
notation he is used to.  Namely .


Is it possible to pursuad chordmode to produce this, or do I have to use 
\markup as I have been doing.  Or perhaps there is another method.  The 
problem with markup, is that the notation is always a bit out of line 
with the rest of the chords, and when a chord is required where there is 
no note to attach it to, it cannot be properly placed.  The markup 
chords do not play on the midi either, though this is of  minor 
importance to me right now.


Any guidance would be appreciated.

Bill

yet another chord question

2009-02-09 Thread James E. Bailey

I'd like to have a chord that is C-10. I have

myChordDefinitions = {
   c e g b dis-\markup \super {-10}
}

And then, of course the requisite

myChordExceptions = #(append
   (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions myChordDefinitions #t)
   ignatzekExceptions)

myChordInit = {
   \set chordNameExceptions = #myChordExceptions
}

I have my very simple input file of

Chord = \chords { \myChordInit c:9+ }

music = { c'2 }

\score {
   
  \Chord
  \music
   
}


So why is the output not changed? The chord name chart shows me that  
c e g b dis is a #9 chord. What I see is the default output of a #9  
chord.

Because c:9+ would be the chord c e g bes dis rather than c e g b 
dis, so it doesn't match your chord definition.

No, that actually wasn't it. I usually use deutsch.ly and the source  
I copied was from the documentation. The output is the same between  
c e g b dis and c e g bes dis, it was the c e g b dis' that  
mattered. I don't know why, but it's apparently important.

It gives g bes ees.
