Hi Socrates, in the OOoLilyPond Window, select the template named "Fret Board" as mentioned by Michael. Now you can simply enter d and you get a standard D major chord.
If you want to want to use your own diagrams, you should use the "Direct to LilyPond" template and enter: % -------------------------------------------------------- \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly" \paper { #(define dump-extents #t) ragged-right = ##t line-width = 17\cm } \layout { indent = #0 \context { \Score \remove "Bar_number_engraver" } } \version "2.18.2" \markup \fret-diagram #"s:3;6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;" % -------------------------------------------------------- A possible template for your needs could look like that: % -------------------------------------------------------- \include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly" #(set-global-staff-size %{OOoLilyPondStaffSize%}10%{OOoLilyPondEnd%}) \paper { #(define dump-extents #t) ragged-right = ##t line-width = %{OOoLilyPondLineWidth%}17\cm%{OOoLilyPondEnd%} } \layout { indent = #0 \context { \Score \remove "Bar_number_engraver" } } %{OOoLilyPondCode%} \version "2.18.2" \markup \fret-diagram #"s:3;6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-2;" %{OOoLilyPondEnd%} % -------------------------------------------------------- You can save this as a new file "Fret-Diagram.ly" and place it in your templates folder. To find the template folder, click the "Config" button in the OOoLilyPond window and see "Template Path:" Cheers, Klaus Fret-Diagram.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n179073/Fret-Diagram.ly> -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Fret-Diagrams-in-Open-Office-Writer-tp179068p179073.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
