That doesn't do several chords in one parenthesis, I looked at http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=902 and cooked up this example: startParenthesis = { \once \override ParenthesesItem.stencils = #(lambda (grob) (let ((par-list (parentheses-item::calc-parenthesis-stencils grob))) (list (car par-list) point-stencil ))) } endParenthesis = { \once \override ParenthesesItem.stencils = #(lambda (grob) (let ((par-list (parentheses-item::calc-parenthesis-stencils grob))) (list point-stencil (cadr par-list)))) } %%%%%% Example: \new ChordNames { \override ParenthesesItem.font-size = #5 \startParenthesis \parenthesize <c e b> d' e' f' \endParenthesis \parenthesize g' } HTH Richard > > Richard > > > > > > > Thanks and best regards > > herbert > > -- > > herbert.liec...@thinx.ch, ThinX AG, Bielstrasse 69, CH-4500 > > Solothurn > > Tel +41 (0)32 623 81 66, Mobile +41 (0)76 334 81 66, > > http://www.thinx.ch > > > > _______________________________________________ > > lilypond-user mailing list > > lilypond-user@gnu.org > > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user > > > > _______________________________________________ > lilypond-user mailing list > lilypond-user@gnu.org > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
