Hi Tim,

no, that's not what I've meant - I'm interested in that particular mix of having normal notes, followed by a few bars where the notes are replaced by chord symbols, which are printed right across the staff lines.

Best,
Robert

If you want them to be positioned like a normal lead sheet, look into

Dear LilyPond fellows,

I'm writing a score for Bigband, which means there are arranged parts as well 
as improvised sequences. In the improvised sequences, one normally only 
provides the chord symbols.
What I have found is a \chord{ } command which produces the chord symbols underneath the 
staff. (However, that command is missing in the index of the "complete" 
LilyPond Syntax manual - does that mean that this command is actually deprecated?)

What I'm looking for is a way to have that chord symbol pulled up into the 
staff. In particular, in the full score the chord symbol appears not under the 
staff where it appears, but under *all* staffs.
So, what I really would like is, that, in the following example, the chord 
symbols appear in the 1st and the 3rd staff, either centered in the middle or 
placed at relative height to where the full bar rest is.


\version "2.14.1"
<<
        \new Staff \relative c'' {
                c c c c
                R1
                \chords { d1:m7 b1:min7.5- }
        }       
        \new Staff \relative c'' { e1 e e e }
        \new Staff \relative c' {
                g4 g g g
                R1
                \chords { d1:m7 b1:min7.5- }
        }       



Anyone know of an easy solution to this?

Thanks in advance!
Robert
