2010-08-16 Thread Stephen Nesbitt
All: I would like to use Lilypond to generate sheet music that can best be described as having 2 distinct and independent sections. The first - and upper section - is simply a list of chords used in the song along with fretboard diagrams. The second - lower part - is similar to a lead sheet wi
