Hi Ming and Robert, While e:min7.5-/d is the correct LilyPond coding for of the chord in question, the standard output still does not match Ming's specification.
*"Problem"* (leaving away the /D, just looking at the main chord here) A minor seventh chord with diminished 5th is nothing else but a half-diminished seventh chord. In this case, LilyPond's standard output will produce an Eø. Writing Em7(b5) is just an alternative that can't be achieved without altering LilyPond's standards. For this very likely reason, one may specify chord-exceptions to adapt the output to personal taste as described in Chord Name Exceptions <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/chords#chords-chord-name-exceptions> . The notes contained in the "template chord" always refer to tonic C, so we'll have to specify the notes of a Cm7(b5) in LilyPond's native (Dutch) language: <c ees ges bes>. As demonstrated in the link, you may specify an arbitrary markup, in this case something like ~~~ chExceptionMusic = { <c ees ges bes>1-\markup { m\super \concat { 7 (\teeny\raise #.3 \flat 5) } } } HTH, Torsten -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
