searching for N.C. in Notation Reference give an immediate hit, pointing to http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/displaying-chords#printing-chord-names Where you can read: Rests passed to a ChordNames context will cause the noChordSymbol markup to be displayed. So: It has nothing to do with Fret Diagrams, but ChordNames. Everywhere you wrote rests the noChordSymbol appears for each rest. > > If r1 is replaced by R1 then no "N.C." markup. R1 is a MultiMeasureRest not a Rest, so noChordSymbol is not printed. Some for spacers, btw. Maybe we should extend the example from the NR to demonstrate how to change noChordSymbol. Here your shortened example with some possibilities: m = \chordmode { e1:7 | s1 | r1 | a2 g | c2:dim7 a:7 | d1 | \set noChordSymbol = "foo" r1 | \set noChordSymbol = "" r2 r4 g | R1 } << \new ChordNames \with { noChordSymbol = "--x--" }\m \new Staff \m >> HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
