Thanks Tim. It seems that this is exactly what I need but... it does not work for me!? I don't know why. I have studied the chapter http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-chords#Displaying-chords Chord name exceptions in LilyPond snippet documentation but when I insert the code below from documentation my OOoLilyPond (with LilyPond 2.12.1 behind) does not compile it reporting many errors in code (see picture attached)! % modify maj9 and 6(add9) % Exception music is chords with markups chExceptionMusic = { <c e g b d'>1-\markup { \super "maj9" } <c e g a d'>1-\markup { \super "6(add9)" } } % Convert music to list and prepend to existing exceptions. chExceptions = #( append ( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t) ignatzekExceptions) theMusic = \chordmode { g1:maj9 g1:6.9 \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions g1:maj9 g1:6.9 } \layout { ragged-right = ##t } << \context ChordNames \theMusic \context Voice \theMusic >> http://www.nabble.com/file/p23648630/OOoLilyPondChordErrors.png OOoLilyPondChordErrors.png -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Complex-chords-tp23558140p23648630.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
