I was thinking of chords like a Cm7b9 and the like. There's no provision for typesetting the flat within the superscript. You could do something like this: \markup \rN { "Cm" \concat { 7 \hspace #0.5 \raise #0.5 \flat 5 } } So in that sense it works, but it's no timesaver. This capability could be added, but I always figured that LilyPond's chord features are more appropriate for this type of symbol. (After all, her names are responsive to transposition, which isn't an issue with Roman numerals.) -David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
