Hi! Thanks for those tips! I'm making great progress now, after having fought with both lilypond and tuxgutar for days!
Now I can see the chord names, the musics and the tab! I didn't use the FretBoards because I couldn't see how to choose the chord variant? My next question, is how to reduce the duplication? My code exaple is below. Is there a way of reducing the duplication of the notes in both staves, i.e. in the example "c1" ? mychords = \chordmode { c1:7sus4 } << \new ChordNames { \mychords } \new Staff \relative c' { c1 ^\markup \fret-diagram-terse #"x;5;5;5;x;x;" } \new TabStaff \relative c'{ \set TabStaff.minimumFret = #6 c1 } >> Thanks for all your help! ps.
