Hello Stan, all, I second the motion to introduce the (incredibly practical key-independent) Nashville Number System to Lilypond. > ♭7⁷ or 7♭⁷. ♭7⁷ is the "official" notation. Plus the NNS has a number of other symbols for denoting breaks (long and short), anticipations, key and meter changes, m

Nashville notation as chord symbols

I would like to use Nashville Notation for chord symbols using Arabic numbers instead of Roman numbers. Is there any way to do this? So in the key of C: C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5 A=6 B=7 So a blues progression might be: 1 4 5⁷ Instead of C F G⁷ So a B-flat7 chord in the key of C might be

Re: Typesetting chord symbols

s right padding before what comes next. I (personally) am considering to leave the idea of creating chord symbols from different fonts and instead create a new font specifically for this purpose. Of course some glyphs will be borrowed from existing fonts, but at least most typesetting details can be han

Typesetting chord symbols

Hi, I was quite surprised to find hardly any information on typesetting of chord symbols. For example, assuming c-sharp, we have the C and the sharp. The sharp follows the C, but should it be aligned? Top or bottom? How big should it be compared to the C? And where to put m (minor) - (minor
