I would like to include chord names in only part of a song. The example I attached does that. The problem is that the use of spaces in the ChordNames section interferes with the \CompressMMRests directive in the "notes" section. Is there another way to include chordnames in a portion of the

Thanks for your response Jean, So, the music notation system I am writing has assimetrical staves with only 4 lines, which means there is a blank space wider than the other two white spaces. For notes that fall into the wider blank space, I want a ledger line value of 2, but for the note that

Hi Michael, Fantastic solution! Thank you very much! LilyPond is similar to Emacs: given my superficial understanding of both LilyPond and Elisp, quite often non-standard things are quite hard to nail down without help from experts, but most of them are possible! Thank you, Vlad On Fri, Oct

Quick answer, and I’m not sure it will help much: \dynamicUp affects the context (Voice) in which it’s placed. \partCombine combines its arguments into new Voices and \dynamicUp ended up in a different voice than the p Thank you for your answer. When you remove \dynamicUp ALL dynamics

I presume that partCombine overrides the dynamic placement so that dynamics for the two parts are placed above and below, which seems a reasonable approach when the parts are more distinct than in the given example.  Using ^ to override it in this case seems a tolerable alternative. Thank you
