Re: Need help displaying note names in 2.22
Dear all,
Thank you very much for the time taken to comment on my problem.
I tried all the suggestions one by one - the best solution was to upgrade
to Lilypond 2.24 (much easier than I thought) and to use Jean's code below:
\version "2.24.1"
\layout {
\context {
\NoteNames
noteNameFunction =
#(lambda args
#{ \markup \with-string-transformer #(lambda (layout props str)
(string-upcase str))
#(apply note-name-markup args) #})
}
}
music = \relative c { c, cis d es }
\score {
<<
\new TabStaff \with {
stringTunings = #bass-tuning
}
{ \music }
\new NoteNames { \music }
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}

I noticed 2 things :

chimenames =
#`(
("c" . "C")
("cis" . "C♯")
("d" . "D")
("es" . "E♭")
)
It only takes into account notes of names with one single character as
the default-name, but it does print the new-note if it has more
characters. I do not understand why...
Note names have changed to use ♯ and ♭ characters, so you need to look
up "c♯" instead of "cis".
I do not understand...
"c♯"
- is not recognized in the music description only "cis" works
- it is not recognized either in the table as (markup->string (ly:grob-property
grob 'text))
in the associative table either,

Oops, except that this is not going to work in 2.22, since \with-string- transformer is new in 2.24. However, 2.22 is not supported anymore, I would recommend upgrading to 2.24 anyway. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

That's because the sharp sign is printed with \markup \accidental in the text
property, i.e., (ly:grob-property grob 'text), but \accidental does not yet
have a markup->string handler giving Unicode accidental characters.
Michael's solution works, but it will nullify the effect of certain
NoteNames-specific properties like printOctaveNames.
I think the best solution here is
```
\version "2.24.1"
\layout {
\context {
\NoteNames
noteNameFunction =
#(lambda args
#{ \markup \with-string-transformer #(lambda (layout props str)
(string-upcase str))
#(apply note-name-markup args) #})
}
}
music = \relative c { c, cis d es }
\score {
<<
\new TabStaff \with {
stringTunings = #bass-tuning
}
{ \music }
\new NoteNames { \music }
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
```
Best

An alternative is to add printAccidentalNames = #'lily to the NoteNames \with. And if I change the "es" lookup key to the more canonical "ees" it finds the corresponding markup instead of returning the errored #f. Cheers, Robin

Is the main idea here to just get the note names displayed in uppercase? If
so, I've been doing basically the same thing with this:
\version "2.25.6"
music = \relative c { c, cis d es }
\score
{
<<
\new TabStaff
\with {
stringTunings = #bass-tuning
}
{ \music }
\new NoteNames {
\set noteNameFunction = #(lambda (pitch ctx)
(markup #:sans (note-name->markup pitch #f))
)
\music
}
>>
\layout { } \midi { }
}
It might not be perfect but it gets the job done. For reference, the
note-name->markup function reference is:
*Function:* *note-name->markup** pitch lowercase?*
Return pitch markup for pitch, including accidentals printed as glyphs. If
lowercase? is set to false, the note names are capitalized.

Note names have changed to use ♯ and ♭ characters, so you need to look
up "c♯" instead of "cis".

Ugh. Please just write NoteName.stencil here. This is 2.18+ syntax.

I tried a few things, but did not find a way to make it work.
I noticed 2 things :
1. In this association table :
chimenames =
#`(

("cis" . "C♯")

but it does print the new-note if it has more characters. I do not understand why...
2. In my version (2.24), I get a warning of a deprecated syntax for the
expression
{\override NoteName #'stencil = #ChimeNoteNames }
saying it should be written with a dot notation
{\override NoteName.#'stencil = #ChimeNoteNames }
and the warning disappear with this notation
