Re: Re-use \chordmode for strumming patterns
There's unfortunately a problem with my idea. If I put the strumming
patterns into the same variable I use for ChordNames, it still
reserves space for them, even if I set chordChanges = ##t. See this
example for comparison. Is there any way around this? I would have
expected non-printed chords to not have impacted the spacing of
printed notes.
\version 2.19.25
\score {
\new ChordNames { \repeat unfold 32 c8 }
\relative c'' { c1 c c c}
}
\score {
\new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##t \repeat unfold 32 c8 }
\relative c'' { c1 c c c}
}
\score {
\new ChordNames { c1 c c c }
\relative c'' { c1 c c c}
}

That works perfectly!
I don't like the name. Once we come up with a nice bike shed color, we
probably should provide that function in LilyPond proper and document it
along with Pitch_squash_engraver.
I agree that this would be a handy function to exist and have
documented in section 1.1.4 of the notation reference, though I don't
have a better idea for the name. Now that I know about
event-chord-reduce, I see that this has been discussed before:

Re-use \chordmode for strumming patterns
Hi. I'm curious if there's a way to re-use a variable containing
chords entered in \chordmode to create strumming patterns with
Pitch_squash_engraver and \improvisationOn. I like only having to
enter the chords once, so if I change something, I only need to do it
in one place, and I also would like the strumming patterns in the midi
output. But the issue is that handing multiple notes to the
Pitch_squash_engraver gives it a double note-head. Is there a way to
maybe extract the root of the chord, or get a single head from the
Pitch_squash_engraver?
Thanks!
Joel
Example:
\version 2.19.25
chordNames = \chordmode {
c4 c8 c~ c c c c
g4 g8 g~ g g g g
}
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\chordNames }
\new Voice \with {
\consists Pitch_squash_engraver
} { \improvisationOn
% Would like some option here like:
% \chordRoot
\chordNames
}
