It's fine if you want to write that and you and the reader know what it means, but I think most readers would interpret it as "C with A in the bass" (and why that chord is not called A-minor-seventh, left unclear). This would be a problem for a system like current LilyPond that insists on translating it to notes and back, because the internal representation for the choice is likely to collide with that for a chord which really is "C with A in the bass"; but it'd be no problem with a system that just formats and prints what's typed, in which "C/a" can mean anything and the system doesn't need to interpret it. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
