Re: Jazz chords above slash notation

Are you thinking of this as a polychord (one chord above another, rather than a chord over a bass note as is usually with a “slash” chord)? Here is a snippet intended to be used as an \include, if I recall correctly, to denote poly chords in \chordmode I haven’t had occasion to use it in years,

Oh dear, that recommendation was for your first code. The bass clef code needs a LeftEdge.Y-offset of -5 Cheers, Robin On 14.07.2019 12:10, Robin Bannister wrote: Jacques Menu wrote: Didn’t find a way to hide the empty part of the staff to the left of it, stopStaff/startStaff didn’t help.

Jacques Menu wrote: Didn’t find a way to hide the empty part of the staff to the left of it, stopStaff/startStaff didn’t help. Sorry. This simplistic pseudoIndent is too fragile for general use. It needs to be made robust re vertical extents. In your case you need a LeftEdge.Y-offset of -4

Another, tricky ‘solution', though musically incorrect since: - it doesn’t use \repeat: the repeat barlines are added manually; - it adds two hidden skip full measures to push the seconda volta to the right.However:  \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta ""))  <> ^\markup {    \scale #'(1.5 . 1.5)
