I finally found a way to get the chord names below the volta bracket. I reduced the height of the staff and increased the volta padding so the volta number would clear the chords. Thry something like this:
. . . Lots of stuff omitted \context Staff = melody < \property Staff . verticalExtent = #'(-4 . 3.5) \property Staff . minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-1 . 1) . . . Lots more stuff omitted \paper { \translator { \StaffContext VoltaBracket \override #'padding = #3 %pts } } Note that 3.5 is the staff height you need to play with. Good luck!

How can I get the Chord symbols below the volta bracket? I tried to move the Volta_engraver to ScoreContext, but the result is not very nice. Btw. is it possible to get the following output for lyrics in some version: { repeat text 1 ending 1 } text before repeat { } text after repeat { repeat text 2 ending 2 } (no blank line and text before and after repeat are in the middle. Repeat is sourrounded by braces) On the other hand I want to set some text above the chord symbols (namely "Refrain" and "Strophe" in italic). How could I achieve that? f^"Refrain" is still below the chords. Tobias P.S.: If someone has a patch by hand to get german-chords.ly fully running (I get with deutsch.ly the nice Text output Faccidentals-1m instead of F#m), please send it to me personally. If not I'll have to wait until September, when I'll be home and can better upgrade. -- Tobias ,----------------------------------------------------------, Schlemmer / ul.
