A common jazz lead sheet convention is to parenthesize optional
chords written over the melody staff. An example is a turnaround
at the end of a song that is not played the last time through.
For example in "Easy Living" the turnaround over the last two
bars of the second ending is (using the default language
conventions):
f2 aes2:7
des2:maj7 c2:7
Rather than writing a separate ending, I'd like to just
parenthesize the last three chords over the final two bars so
they would render:
F ( Ab7 Dbmaj7 C7 )
This approach is commonly used in jazz lead sheets rather than
writing multiple endings within multiple endings or adding
codas. I've been plowing through the documentation and have
searched the Web, which has extensive stuff about parenthesizing
but nothing that I have found to suit the need I have.
You could probably just add the Text_engraver to the ChordNames
context, and include it as markup.
Yes, this works, but I found that the markups need to be attached
to the chornames with _ or ^, so you need to #'extra-offset them to
get them on the same line as the chordnames.
Does using - not work?
