In the notation reference: 2.7.2 Displaying chords,
is a snippet for a simple lead sheet:
<<
\chords { c2 g:sus4 f e }
\relative c'' {
a4 e c8 e r4
b2 c4( d)
}
\addlyrics { One day this shall be free __ }
Why does the following shift the chords below the staff, and how
can you get
them back up? This would be a welcome documentation subject.
It's because a Staff context cannot contain a Chords context
by default, so the Chords context is pushed below the Staff.
This is mentioned in Section 5.4.2 of the Notation Reference,
but I grant you it's not very easy to find or obvious.
See below for the solution.
\score {
\new Staff {
<<
\chords { c2 g:sus4 f e }
\relative c'' {
a4 e c8 e r4
b2 c4( d)
}
\addlyrics { One day this shall be free __ }
}
}
I can't seem to find a way to get them up in anything more
complicated than the
first example.
Here's how:
\score {
<<
\chords { c2 g:sus4 f e }
\new Staff {
\relative c'' {
a4 e c8 e r4
b2 c4( d)
}
\addlyrics { One day this shall be free __ }
}
>>
}
