Hi fellow listers (from a long time user and enthusiast of lilypond from the very first released version),
The recent introduction of so called "chord grids" is a long awaited feature for me, amateur musician mainly involved in music requiring improvisation. In particular, the ChordGrid context allows customization of the rendering of grid cells, and proposes a \medianChordGridStyle which adhere to a de facto standard of harmonic grids rendering. But this style is limited. By default, for 4/4 time signature, it only proposes a median cut of a cell when there is one chord per quarter note (1/4 1/4 1/4 1/4 pattern). In cases like 1 chord for two beats and the two next chords for one beat each (1/2 1/4 1/4), it rolls back to the "diagonal" notation (and I agree with Philippe Baudoin, this notation is a real mess). I quickly hacked a modification (at scm level) to handle properly the following patterns : - 1/2 1/4 1/4 - 1/4 1/4 1/2 - 3/4 1/4 - 1/4 3/4 Which are, in the context of 4/4 jazz, the most commonly encountered. I am currently working on Balkan music patterns with asymetric time signatures, like 11/8, 7/8, etc, but I wait before proposing something, because I suspect that the general problem has something in common with the beaming grouping problem, so I want to be able to propose something consistent with the automatic beam grouping approach. How can submit a patch ? forking the master branch and submitting a pull request ? Thank you. Regards.
