Hi Oliver, > Is there any way in lilypond to display a chord name of the form "C5", which > commonly denotes a power chord without the 3rd?
Here’s one way: %%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.19.80" customChordExceptions = { <c g>-\markup { "5" } } newChordExceptionList = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions customChordExceptions #t) ignatzekExceptions) \layout { \context { \Score chordNameExceptions = #newChordExceptionList } } somechords = \chordmode { c1:7 c1:5 } << \new ChordNames \somechords \new Staff \somechords >> %%% SNIPPET ENDS Hope that helps! Kieren. p.s. I received 5 copies of your post, sent at slightly different times. If you post to the list, and don’t see your post right away, please wait some time before posting again. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
