hi everybody, i'm trying to put jazz chord symbols.

somithing like CM7, dm9, etc. but they have to be
above de staff. any sugestions?

I don't know if this is the right way, or even if it's a bad way, but it's working for me...


\\input musixgui\
\\font\ref=cmtt12\def\zt#1#2{\zcharnote{#1}{\ref#2}}\def\bs{$\backslash$}\
\\def\chord#1{\zt{12}{#1}}\
\\def\cham{\chord{Am}}\
\\def\chc{\chord{C}}\
\\def\cha7{\chord{D7}}\
\\def\chd7{\chord{D7}}\
\\def\che7{\chord{E7}}\
\\def\chg7{\chord{G7}}\

Now, please don't ask too much about this because It's a hack from other examples that I saw that does similar things. Anyway, I use the \zt to put text at a fixed location about the staff, I made \chord to specify a postion (makes it easy to change globally if I don't like where the chords are being placed), then I made some common chord shortcuts \chg7 = chord G7, \cha7 = chord A7, etc...

Hope this helps instead of confuses, or leads you down the wrong path. I'm no tex, or even MusixTeX expert.
