I am using text markup, and Lilypond kindly moves the chord symbols higher to
accomodate them. But sometimes I want to use extra-offset to move the markup,
and I want Lilypond to completely ignore the markup, i.e., not move the chord
symbols higher. How to I get it to do this?
__
Currently I am doing something like this:
\once \override TextScript #'Y-offset = #-5
\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(0.0 . 5.0)
But it seems not to be the best way. How can I achieve the same effect?

Padding is exactly what I _don't_ want - I need Lilypond to ignore that text
markup when deciding where to
I have similar issues with the Lilypond chord notating system, but
they're not going to fix this so you'll have to set your own
exceptions.
You are right, both the standard and alternative chord naming schemes
in Lilypond are just weird. I've never seen any chord names notated
like that in any rea
Chords should be typeset under them by default, you're right (as well
as text markup). Too bad Lilypond doesn't understand that.

Is this really ideal? Wouldn't it be better for Lilypond to be able to
typeset these kinds of time signatures? They're not as uncommon as you
might think.
There are several styles:
6+5 / 8
6/8 +
Anyone know a reason why it isn't?

I think others have pointed out that slashes should ONLY used to
indicate bass notes. However, the Lilypond chord scheme ignores this
(as well as using a chord notation system that is completely
unfamiliar to most modern jazz instrumentalists).
I think many people find it frustrating that it's imp
Try 2.8; it handles postscript better.

Given that these are free software programmers who use Linux and buy
into the GNU philosophy, I don't think they would take too kindly to
receiving a proprietary file format they almost certainly despise...

That's not really what's meant by "free" in this case.

I see the same thing:

}
This looks weird.
