Lead sheets: Maj. 7 chords

have been creating some lead sheets in the style of the "Real Book", using the \chords{} syntax. However, I do not like the way the default notates "major 7 chords", that is, a major triad with a major seventh. The default is to use a "triangle" to notate such a chord (shown below in my

"\override BarLine" for a PianoStaff

"\override BarLine" for a PianoStaff I frequently use lilypond for short theory examples for teaching, and for such examples I often use the code: \override BarLine.transparent = ##t to make bar lines disappear. This has always worked for me for a single staff, but when I just tried to do

Re: two-way synchronization (live or otherwise) between Lilypond and a DAW

About four years ago, I did almost all, if not all of your listed steps with Lilypond and Ardour. I wrote a multi-voice score in Lilypond, converted the score to MIDI, loaded this MIDI into Ardour, and then assigned the various MIDI voices to various synthesis plugins. The process did include

Re: Ot Barrios-music

Your notation of the harmonic on the first beat of measure 3 looked odd to me, and so I compared this note to two other editions of this piece that I have. According to those editions, this harmonic should be a "D", produced at the 7th fret of the 3rd string, not the "E" that you have.
