The code in musicxml2ly.py does, indeed, generate :m5 for minor. Surprisingly, the NR, A.2 Common chord modifiers, reads: Major Major third, perfect fifth 5 or nothing c1:5 notes: c g Minor Minor third, perfect fifth m or m5 c1:m notes: c ees g Despite the examples showing otherwise, this could easily be interpreted to mean that c is the same as c:5, and that c1:m is the same as c:m. However, the trailing '5' makes a power chord (no 3rd). In the case of minor the distinction with the major chord is lost. I really wonder if it is intentional behaviour for musicxml2ly to use m5 for minor. Same goes for :5 (for major), :aug5, :dim5, :dim5m7, and :maj5m5. -- Johan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
