Chord bass note font

2016-01-30 Thread Thomas Ibbotson
Hi,

I'd like to make the bass note in slashed chords use a smaller font to
distinguish it from the chord name. I get easily confused when they're the
same size!

I've looked through the snippet repository and documentation but couldn't
find an example.

Does anyone know how I could achieve this?

Thanks,
Tom

Fantastic thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for.

I am quite new to lilypond, so I'm interested to understand how that works.

I see you're defining a new function "lower-extension", which looks like it
modifies and passes through its arguments to another function
"note-name->markup". Am I close? There's something I don't understand, how
does it only affect the bass note argument?

Thanks,
Tom
