Custom chord suffix, no chord name

I'd like to display a chord that says just "Un." -- nothing else. In Finale, I'd handle this by setting no chord name and then making a custom chord suffix for "Un." What's the appropriate way to do this in LilyPond? I read "7.2.3 Printing chord names," but the chordNameExceptions method seems to

Hi Stephen! I compiled your piece and the only workaround I can see for what you want is to type "host-of" to get those two words on the same note -- lily thinks a hyphen is simply part of a word (as opposed to dbl-hyphen or *underscore* Does this help? Fr. Gordon Gilbert +=

As it stands I have a measure where I want to place two pieces of the lyrics with a half note. No matter how I have attempted to say make the first word a quarter note in length it still makes it a half note. This throws off all the lyrics after this. Can you point how where I am going wrong in th

Hi! I copied your file and convert-ly'd it to 2.7.20 (my version) and compiled it. I'm first of all wondering if, although you're using a very ancient hymn (Let all mortal flesh keep silence), you're perhaps writing a new tune for it? Because the notes you have in there so far bear no resem

Lyric word spanning two notes (Stephen Torri)

Hi! Your message: I have a measure in 2/2 time which I have four quarter notes. Below it I want to have lyrics where one word is sung in two parts in this measure. So the notes and lyrics go in a pseudo code fashion would be: a b c d si -- lience The notes 'a' and 'b' are paired with 'si--'

RE: MIDI dynamics seem completely broken

Not long ago I saw a message here that it is a bug. You can turn dynamics off in the midi in order to get the notes to be heard, albeit without the crescendi and decrescendi. (They'll still be in the printed output.) Here's the command: \midi { \tempo 4 = 84 \context { \Voice

RE: Lyric word spanning two notes

Hi Stephen - I don't know what version you're using, but in 2.6.4 (and probably in other versions, I'm not sure) you can use the \melisma command in the music to stretch a syllable over several notes. Here's an example of something I transcribed a while back from a choral work (in Lilypond v. 2.6

Please always tell what LilyPond version you use. Also, it's always a good idea to include a small but complete example file of what you tried so far. Basically, there are two methods to specify the "rhythm" of the lyrics syllables: 1. By explicitly specifying the duration of each syllable, just
