I gave this a try in 2.17.18 with the test code below, and "first pitch like absolute" still works even with a default scale that has an even number of notes. In this case \relative {...} corresponds to \relative fis {...} instead of \relative f {...} Cheers, -Paul % BEGIN TEST SNIPPET \version "2.17.18" % set the default scale to chromatic scale, and pitchnames to match #(ly:set-default-scale (ly:make-scale '#(0 1/2 1 3/2 2 5/2 3 7/2 4 9/2 5 11/2))) dodecaPitchNames = #(map (lambda (pitchname) (let* ( (pitch (cdr pitchname)) (nominal-steps (vector-ref '#(0 2 4 5 7 9 11) (ly:pitch-notename pitch))) (fractional-steps (+ nominal-steps (* 2 (ly:pitch-alteration pitch)))) (steps (inexact->exact (floor fractional-steps))) ) (cons (car pitchname) (ly:make-pitch (ly:pitch-octave pitch) steps (/ (- fractional-steps steps) 2))))) pitchnames) #(ly:parser-set-note-names parser dodecaPitchNames) \new Staff { \mark "absolute" fis' g' gis' a' ais' b' c' cis' d' dis' e' f' } \new Staff { \mark "relative {...}" \relative { fis' } \relative { g' } \relative { gis' } \relative { a' } \relative {ais' } \relative { b' } \relative { c' } \relative { cis' } \relative { d' } \relative { dis' } \relative { e' } \relative { f' } } \new Staff { \mark "relative f {...}" \relative f { fis' } \relative f { g' } \relative f { gis' } \relative f { a' } \relative f { ais' } \relative f { b' } \relative f { c' } \relative f { cis' } \relative f { d' } \relative f { dis' } \relative f { e' } \relative f { f' } } \new Staff { \mark "relative fis {...}" \relative fis { fis' } \relative fis { g' } \relative fis { gis' } \relative fis { a' } \relative fis { ais' } \relative fis { b' } \relative fis { c' } \relative fis { cis' } \relative fis { d' } \relative fis { dis' } \relative fis { e' } \relative fis { f' } } -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Feature-Request-Chromatic-note-names-tp145984p146033.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
