I think that I put too much in one message.
The chord notation in lilypond is broken.
C G7
rest |music |music|rest|music |music |
G7 N.C. G7 C
music |solo |music |music ||
The second G7 above is required at the new line. You can't make
it automatic without changes. My specific problem, as I said,
makes it impossible. (Let's see, I could write another voice
consisting in spacer rests or use a dummy lyrics part?) I really
don't care about that. I want to help. What bothers me is that
the chords are broken, and always have been. It would be better
if a rest in the chord part generated an "N.C." or "No Chord...."
(or, better yet, a "tacet", which has a lot more class,
besides being international.) except at the beginning (or after
an "N.C."), where there is no issue of repeating a chord because
there is no chord to repeat, and depending on the horizontal
space involved whether to abbreviate "No Chord". Then some kind
of tie, abbreviated please, could be used in the typed chord part
instead of rests, to indicate that the chord was still in force
to be restated in case of new lines. Consider the logic. It never
made much sense to type a rest (or skip) to indicate that one
should keep playing a chord rather than stop playing them. :-)
