You can create the "Capo 3", or similar text using the \set instrument command. This puts "Capo 3" to the far left of the first system, aligned with the transposed chords. I include an examplebelow. This works for Lilypond version 2.8. I can't vouch for older versions. The command in the \layout block is needed because, by default, ChordNames parts don't seem to print the instrument name.Yes, that works - thanks! It doesn't produce output quite the same as I'm used to, but it's close enough. Turns out that all I was doing wrong was not using \New - d'oh!I played with chord name exceptions, but they didn't obviously seem to be able to use the existing chord as a parameter - so I could turn G into G() easily, but not G into G(E).Now my only problem is that my MIDIs have two sets of chords playing in different keys! Is it possible (without an entirely separate score construct for MIDI) to mute a staff or chordname group, so it still renders but doesn't produce any MIDI output? I've tried playing with minvolume and maxvolume, but they don't seem to have any effect on ChordName objects....Also, it would be nice to be able to put one set of chords in brackets. Chord name exceptions only seem to be able to deal with text *after* the chords; so they can give me G) but not (G). Any ideas?Thanks, Tim =-= _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
