Hello, I want to write down guitar chords and frets with extra voicings, say a G chord with an extra Fifth on the B string, 3rd fret, or Em chord with an extra G on the treble e string. As these extra notes belong to the chords, you can write g:5, but Lilypond ignores the :5 and prints only

Hello, to be more precisely: no power chords, no slash chords. Just for example an extra fifth to the g major chord (which may be redundant but gives another voicing). When the fret diagram for the G chord is 320003 (not lilypond syntax, but you may know what I mean), the G chord with the

Many answers. Thanks to everybody. David, Marc, I built my own predefined diagrams, like these: \storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode {g} #guitar-tuning #3-2;x;o;o;o;x; \storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode {g'} #guitar-tuning #3-2;x;o;o;3-3;x; As you can't have more than one diagram with the same
