You may want to have a look at an old post about http://www.nabble.com/Creating-a-nice-formatted-Chords-%2B-Lyrics-layout-for-guitar-players-to13829430.html#a13829430 Creating a nice formatted Chords + Lyrics layout for guitar players .
Look especially at the layout part, which will render the staff invisble, but keep the lyrics and chords visible: \layout { \context { \Score \remove "Mark_engraver" \remove "Bar_number_engraver" \remove "Metronome_mark_engraver" \remove "Time_signature_engraver" %\remove "Spacing_engraver" % Remove all-rest staves also in the first system \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t } \context { \Staff \remove "Staff_symbol_engraver" } \context { % add the RemoveEmptyStaffContext that erases rest-only staves \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } } I hope this may be a start. If you find anything else, share it in this thread as well. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Extracting-only-lyrics-and-chords-tp16623773p16627263.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
