I have not been able to figure out how to get LP to print anything
like a m7b5 or a 7#9 or a 7b9 using \chordmode. This is difficult
with a song like "Angel Eyes" which has a good half-dozen of these
types of chords. Currently I am writing in those extensions by hand
because it's just the simplest solution. Looking at the archives
there seemed to be various solutions that seemed rather kludgy to
me. It seems like I ought to be able to type something like d2:m7b5
and get that chord on the page.
Minor seventh, flat fifth -- c:m7.5-
Seventh, sharp ninth -- c:7.9+
Seventh, flat ninth -- c:7.9-
I will try those, thank you very much! <Checks, gets an Eø on the
page, which works just fine> I would have never thought of separating
chord extensions by dots. Can multiple extensions be set that way
(e.g., c:m7.5-.9+)?
Indeed, just add away -- c:m7.5-.9+ works fine. If you don't like the
actual markup used in the chord name, you can make an exception, as
described in Carl's mail
I did not see anything like this in the documentation- did I miss it?
It is described here
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Chord-mode#Extended-and-altered-chords
(There is a *lot* of documentation and much of it has no direct
bearing on what I am using LP for, so it's likely I've overlooked many
things).
Yup -- LP is _the_ best documented project around.
