Victor -
Thanks for the challenge.
A clean way to do this eludes me. It seems that markup in \chords { . . . }
is not accepted. A feature request?
See http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=209 where the answer may reside, but
it's messy.
You can use \markup in the notes, but matching the font and positioning is
also messy.
Others - Guidance please.

Hi,
thanks for responding. I'm using lily 2.11-something, and I wanted to
annotate something in a \chords part. Here is the relevant bit. If
you remove the comment character to get the "tacet" in, lily gives an
error message.
Victor.
\header {
title = "Fredo's Chanson"
subtitle = "For Alto and Guitar (version in A)"
composer = "Victor Eijkhout"
copyright = "C Victor Eijkhout, 2007"
}
\paper {
ragged-bottom = ##t
print-page-number = ##t
% head-separation = 2\mm
foot-separation = 2\mm
% #(set-paper-size "letter" 'landscape)
}
alto = \relative { \time 4/4 \clef treble \key a \minor
\relative c'' {
c'8 b a gis a4 b8 c | b8 c16 b a8 gis a4 e8 f |
d4 c8 d e4 e | a,2. s4 \bar ".|."
}
}
thechords = {
\chords {
a2:m a:m/c | b4:dim/d e a2:m |
s1%^"tacet"
| a:m
}
}
<<
{ \thechords }
{ \alto }
>>
\version "2.10.0" % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond
versions.
