Greetings -

I'm running LY 2.19.32 under Win 7.

I'm trying to add chord names to fiddle tunes, and not having much luck. I
used to add the chord names as markups on individual notes, but I was
hoping chordNames would place the names all at one height, above the staff.
Here's what I've tried, and it clearly does not work.

Should I be entering the chords and notes as parallel music?

How can I get the chords to appear above the staff?

I appreciate your time and attention,

Ralph

% Chord names
\version "2.19.32"
\include "english.ly"


chordNames =
\new Staff   \relative {
  \clef treble
  \key g \major
  \time 4/4

  \chords {
    g2 d2 |
  }

    g'4 g a g  |
}



\score {
  \chordNames
  \layout {
    indent = #0
  }
}
