You don't have to do this for major sevenths- just include the following within your ChordNames context: \context ChordNames = "Chords" { \set majorSevenSymbol = "maj7" ... } What I do for other chord exceptions is put them all in one big file and include that file in all m

I am working with Lilypond 2.13.8 and have run into the problem that the default spacing between stanzas of lyrics is unacceptably small (it has ascenders and descenders of different lines crashing into each other). I've searched the documentation and the web to find solutions and have found a
