Hi David,
Pop music in the U.S.A. may be the monetary epicentre of the musical
universe, but most of LilyPond's developer base are rather removed from
there.
I must disappoint you, I'm a Berlin jazz pianist that just happens to do
some studio work. Since, apart from the classical scene,
and it would be great to manage all kinds of musical typesetting with a
single piece of software.
Kind regards,

Dear David,
You can move MIDI playback by using \transposition
This is well-known, but reintroduces the problem of double transposition.

I'm sorry it doesn't. It prints a clef, key and time signature, IIRC.
Not what you need in a row of chord symbols.

Hi Stan, Klaus,
the following snippet does Nashville numbers correctly for the key of C

keys we'd need to hand the routine two pitches, the chord root and the
current key, and have it compute the difference between the two,
Hello Stan, all,
I second the motion to introduce the (incredibly practical
key-independent) Nashville Number System to Lilypond.

symbols for denoting breaks (long and short), anticipations, key and
meter changes,
Dear Elaine,
In terms of the latter musical context, the add9 is ambiguous, since it
leaves open the question of whether the chord functions as a dominant or
not. Yes, we all understand that when you write add9 you don't want to

Dear lilypond-user team,
starting with LilyPond 2.16, and on into 2.18, the chord naming

functionally, the former is a dominant, the latter a tonic, so there
must
Dear lilypond-user team,
problem solved: \set Score.additionalPitchPrefix = add does the trick.
However, this should be default behavior, because C9 and Cadd9 are just
not the same thing, but describe chords with vastly different harmonic
function.

Amy
