Hi Stephan, all, > I'm using lilypond to lay out a Jazz piece. I'm stuck with a chord > "Bb7alt" which the composer specifies. How can I add this chord (as > text) to the score?
I hope you're using Lily 1.6.7 or higher with the corrected jazz code... I know of the problem... many jazzers write alt chords, which is not a real chord designation, but just instructs the player to throw in "some altered additional tones", whatever they may be. In any case, it's something I don't use, because I could just as well write "arb", for arbitrary. But it's common practice... so I agree a way should be created to typeset this symbol. However, it doesn't align with the Lilypond chord handling system at all. Maybe our Lily internals experts can give a hint? Making it possible to append text to a chord symbol should solve the problem, I guess.
