Hemmm, that is a matter of individual preferences. As a jazz musician I find parentheses in chords add to the visual clutter and add no useful information. More characters add more confusion. Cmaj7#4 is less trouble to read than Cmaj7(#4) on the bandstand in an unfamiliar tune. Of course 90% of the extensions that are written on lead sheets are ignored anyway in favor of what the musician’s ear tells him or her what to play. Composers should generally save themselves the bother. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
