No, It's quite common to indicate the string by Roman numerals. Printed music would hardly ever indicate position, but it is normal to see either "sul G" or "IV". On 19 Sep 2015 12:31, "Ralph Palmer" wrote: > On Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 2:14 PM, Michael Gerdau

Re: Chords and what they mean

A bit OT: For anybody having doubts if sus chords are of any use, I found a nice example in jazz. In Herbie Hancock’s jazz piece Maiden Voyage one can recognize examples of sus chords covering D7sus, F7sus, Eb7sus, and F#7sus (C#-13). Lilipond unhappily omits the sus in this combinations.

Re: Chords and what they mean

Thank you for the interesting analysis and the links. With the flats and sharps instead of "-es" and "-is" in your code, it is a bit strange. The m7b5 chord (your example) in the jazz slang usually/often is called "half diminished" an uses the slashed 0 "ø" symbolically "halving" the 0.I do

There was a long thread "Lilypond and Jazz chords" in 2009 https://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg48254.html I have not read it completely, but may be one might find it interesting? I think one might find many repetitions and may be some additional aspects?

Re: Chords and what they mean

For sure Hancock is giving the sus some specific "colour". I just listend Maiden Voyage and I am sure he always play a powerchord root doubled and a 5 with his left hand, not a complete triad. Nothing strange for modal jazz. And a 7sus chord with the right hand. Not shure, but it sounds like

Transpose without collapsing double accidentals

If transposing music produces notes with alteration of more than a whole tone, \transpose will produce a warning and change the note name. I would like to be able to transpose notes up or down an octave without changing their names or alteration at all, even if it is more than a whole tone.
