Hello, to be more precisely: no power chords, no slash chords. Just for example an extra fifth to the g major chord (which may be redundant but gives another voicing). When the fret diagram for the G chord is 320003 (not lilypond syntax, but you may know what I mean), the G chord with the extra

Hello, I want to write down guitar chords and frets with extra voicings, say a G chord with an extra Fifth on the B string, 3rd fret, or Em chord with an extra G on the treble e string. As these extra notes belong to the chords, you can write g:5, but Lilypond ignores the :5 and prints only G,
