I would like to use Nashville Notation for chord symbols using Arabic numbers instead of Roman numbers. Is there any way to do this?
So in the key of C: C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5 A=6 B=7 So a blues progression might be: 1 4 5⁷ Instead of C F G⁷ So a B-flat7 chord in the key of C might be represented at either ♭7⁷ or 7♭⁷. I think there is a great deal of value with what might be called "relative notation" in this way. It is a hard system to learn, but once learned can make key transpositions much easier. For my projects I would like to write regular chord symbols, but above or below those symbols I would have the Nashville number thing. After working with this system, I think all the fake books in the world should be done this way. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
