Well... after sending this I started thinking about a different question
I had asked a while back and realized I could leverage that to get what
I need. it's not really ideal but it will work.
Refer to code below and the screen shot. Once i get the structure laid
out I'll work on making it prettier.
The desired end result to match the James Taylor song (plus some extra
parts I'm adding in) is :
AA BB CC
BB DD
AA BB EE
AA FF
Note of course each of these will be much longer than just two measures
in the real song. And that D D, E E, and F F do match each other
structurally otherwise I could have taken a simpler approach.
\version "2.24.4"
\layout {
\context {
\ChordNames
\override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(0 . 2)
\consists "Bar_engraver"
}
}
ch = \chordmode {
a1 a \break
\repeat volta 2 {
b b
\alternative {
\volta 1 { c c }
}
}
<<
\chordmode { d d \break e e \break f f }
\chordmode {
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "2.") end-repeat)
s1
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) )
s1
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "3.") )
s1
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) )
}
>>
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames {\ch}
\new Staff \relative c' { a1^\segno a^"To Coda" b b c c
d d^"d.s."
e e^"d.s. al coda"
f^\coda f }
>>
}
