I noticed it, but the topic is quite different: the german note names are just a shift of some pitch in the chord names. They are implemented as a "plugged in" modification of the currently determined name. In fact, this is a good method to change the "system" of chords, and not their names. On the other hand, Italian chord system (as well as French, I suppose), is absolutely identical (isomorphic) to the english system, except for note naming. Reassuming: - German = system change / alteration of chord notation - Italian/French = isomorphic system / different names. For this reason I went for just a "change" of the names. In fact it is theoretically possible to use the german system with italian names (I suppose this can be done write down german ancient music); so I wouldn't mix the concept of "chord system" (german/jazz/standard) with "chord names" (same system, just change of names). Do you agree? Giancarlo. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
