I'm creating some jazz charts that require a transposed lead sheet for a Bb or Eb instrument. I haven't messed with \bookpart much before.
The most obvious problem, and one that I knew was coming,
pertains to stroke marks in improvisation sections:
\version "2.16.2"
stemOff = { \override Staff.Stem #'transparent = ##t }
stemOn = { \revert Staff.Stem #'transparent }
\score {
\new Staff {
\relative f' { f4 g a c }
\improvisationOn \stemOff
b'4 b' b' b'
\improvisationOff \stemOn
\relative f' { g4 a b d }
}
}
Is there a better way to create the effect in measure 2? It
looks fine until you transpose it, and then the b' notes get
transposed. Is there either a way to wrap that second measure to
protect it from being transposed, or a better way altogether?
The attached example is expanded to illustrate transposition.
It produces a warning that I think I understand,
Transposing fes'' by beses' makes alteration larger than double
because I presume of an A double-flat chord with the fifth (E
double-flat) lowered to E triple-flat.
\version "2.16.2"
stemOff = { \override Staff.Stem #'transparent = ##t }
stemOn = { \revert Staff.Stem #'transparent }
Melody = {
\key e \major
\relative f' { e4 fis gis b }
\improvisationOn \stemOff
b'4 b' b' b'
\stemOn \improvisationOff
\relative f' { fis4 gis a cis }
}
Chords = \chordmode { bes1:maj7.5- }
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \Chords
\new Staff \Melody
>>
}
% this works, but transposes E major to an unfortunate C# major
\score {
<<
\transpose ees c' \new ChordNames \Chords
\transpose ees c' \new Staff \Melody
>>
}
%{ So I did this to get Db major (five flats instead of seven
sharps) but now the chord symbol is not transposed correctly.
Granted, even the "correct" answer of aeses:maj7.5- is not all
that great, but the transposed output shows a very different
chord nomenclature.
Be that as it may, what's the practical approach to fixing that
one chord in the transposed output? The original key of E
calls out a bes:maj7.5- so I think in Db the best choice is
g:maj7.5-. How do I accomplish that? A special-case Ignatzek
exception or some such? Is that the simplest way? %}
\score {
<<
\transpose dis c' \new ChordNames \Chords
\transpose dis c' \new Staff \Melody
>>
}
Thank you again!
