Thank you for that! It helped me be able to render the chord names in the LilyJAZZText font; I had not been able to figure out how to do that. My next question is how to apply the font to the header block. I also use \markup, \fill-line and \column above the music to list solo orders and any other notes for the arrangement. I don't know how to apply the font to that, either. It would be nice to be able to do so just for the sake of visual consistency. Is there a simple way to apply the text font to all text on the page? > I'm looking forward to further versions!

Most of what I write are jazz lead sheets anyway This is true for me as well. It's very exciting to have the opportunity to present a simpler and hopefully more quickly readable appearance for use on the bandstand. Torsten has done a wonderful thing with this. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
