There is, as of version 2.20. You can include markup in chord mode, and use the \fraction construction: \chords { c1 \once \override ChordName.text = \markup { \fraction top bottom } a1 } "top" and "bottom" need to be strings, as far as I can tell. --- CCH _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
