That wouldn't be me, but since nobody has given you any response yet, here's my .02: It seems nobody really uses the chord stuff beyond a pretty basic level. So when somebody (you) comes around and dig a bit deeper, the flaws are revealed. IFAIK the problem is not lily, but the chords defined in .../scm/chord-name.scm. When I was a (ever more) total newbie (than I am now) I tweaked the definitions to give jazz-chords (triangles and so on), but lot of things ave happened since then. Although I'm not a programmer, I also need the fonts from time to time, so when I get the time, I will look at what is there and what's wrong. I also think we need to have a discussion anyways about what "system"(s) we want for chords, like is the extensions superscripted, do we need the number "7" to be printed in a dominant 9'th chord, stuff like that. So I don't know how desperate you are, but if you hang around I'd love to help (as much/little as I can) when I land on my feet sometime before winter... Meanwhile; happy hacking :-) -- peace, love & harmony Atte _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
