Hey all!
Just had a curious case concerning chord names. Typesetting a small jazz
piece and - as always - wanted to keep my file tidy, so I put the chords
for the solo-section in a variable as they are the same for every solo. But
somehow Lilypond seems to make a difference, if one inserts the rests/skips
directly to the chords or not. Has anyone of you an idea why Lilypond
prints the chords below the staff in the first example and above the staff
in the other one? I did a quick search but couldn't find an explanation
that convinced me.
All the best,
Christian
