Hi LilyPond experts,
this is a basic question that I have when I read this thread:
How are chords stored and translated internally?
>From using LP, I know I can write in chordmode and in musicmode and I
can get notes and chordnames:
\chordmode -> \new Staff
\chordmode -> \new ChordNames
{ } -> \new Staff
{ } -> \new ChordNames
But I wonder: Does it always go through the music espression?
(1) \chordmode { c } -> (2) { <c e g> } -> (3) ChordNames C
It seems to be different as I can write:
\version "2.19.21"
music = { <b d' g'> \chordmode { g:/b } }
\new ChordNames \music % different names
\new Staff \music % same notes
The core of my question is: Can the translation chordmode -> ChordName
be defined independently of other translations. Must translations be
bijective?
Cheers,
Joram
