Hello! I'm a beginner with Lilypond but have decent programming knowledge. Something I haven't managed to figure out is how to best organize my projects. It becomes a very long file if everything is in the same one, so I've tried splitting it into separate `.ly` files for lyrics, soprano,

Some newbie questions...

Hi. I'm new to lilypond. I've read through much of the manual and I have a few questions outstanding. 1) Can lilypond do Nashville style chords? I mean, I'm sure it can, one way or another. What I'm really asking is if it is as simple as it is to do regular chords. Or what might be involved.

Re: Three newbie questions

\set chordRootNamer = #(lambda (x) (-)) or something like that (I'm not sure about the syntax), then \unset chordRootNamer would do the trick. Ok, I wasn't able to make some valid lilypond syntax with this. I asked google and didn't get much help there. What's the error message?

Re: Three newbie questions

If you use \set chordRootNamer = #(lambda (x) -) you will not get any syntax errors, you don't get any syntax errors but you get a somewhat unexpected output. If you, in addition, set \set chordNoteNamer = #note-name-markup the result is somewhat more similar to what you want (by default it
