To be honest I still find that syntax hard to understand. Replace the 3 <whatever> with A B and C, how would the above code render those chords ? I'm guessing it would be: A ( B C ) But if that's the case, what is the initial \parenthesize for ? Note I used code found in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2016-10/msg00574.html which has similar hard-to-understand syntax, I used as such: | g2:6 \leftParen bes2:dim5 | a4:m7 \rightParen d2:7 Guess how it is rendered ? For obscure reason, the right paren goes _after_ the d2:7 (which is what I want, but looks weird in the source code). Please note: I love the lilypond and even more the _community_ around it, so don't take my observations as destructive as they really don't want to be :) --strk; _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
