hm, my answer is a bit out of lilypond scope, but if I understand your question correctly, you want to understand what these chords are?
they are three different pre-dominant chords that are taught to American undergrads in a sophomore theory course. in E major: Italian = C E A# French = C E F# A# German = C E G A# Tristan = C D# F# A# in all of them, the C and A# in theory want to fan out to B (the dominant). This is, of course, in theory - Wagner’s use of the Tristan chord, which he clearly named his opera after, has the A# moving down to A, or the 7th of the dominant (I’m transposing to fit w/ the example above). Wagner obviously did not pay much attention during his sophomore music theory course… ~Mike On 13 September 2017 at 11.20.51, Menu Jacques (imj-...@bluewin.ch) wrote: Hello folks, MusicXML supports neapolitan, italian, german, french and tristan chords, i.e.: <harmony> <root> <root-step>C</root-step> </root> <kind>Neapolitan</kind> </harmony> I’ve found information about neapolitan, but nothing about the others. What is the structure of those? Thanks! JM _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
