It's because they're actual content. Consider printing a part with your style of chord naming, and then having to give the same part to someone used to ignatzek, with Danish notenames. With a neat representation like the pitches that would be replacing \set chordNameFunction = #real-book-chord-names with \set chordNameFunction = #ignatzek-chord-names \set chordNoteNamer = #note-name->german-markup How do you go about that, when all you have is a sequence of letters, numbers and symbols? Also, in a far future, I could imagine a Band-in-a-Box functionality, which would also need to know about chord pitches. This is why I suggest to have your style of chord-naming added as a separate style, on top of what we currently have. Removing the block-chords from MIDI is not an issue. It's just a matter of removing Note_performer from the MIDI ChordNames context. Regarding your offer/request, I can only estimate how much work it would be if you can send me chart, similar to the one in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Chord-name-chart with your desired layout. If you insist on a text-only approach, I can cook up something, but I still need a sample of what you want. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
