Re: How to remove all notes and only show Chords and Lyrics?

[Dominic Sonntag]

Hi Kieren,

thanks for this hint. I checked it and it looks *quite* good, but there is a 
problem that
chords are out of alignment.

I created a "minimal" example (which doesn't fit into ten lines because of the 
layout
setup part) you can find attached and the result.

As you can see, the chords in the second version (without notes) are always a 
bit late,
they should appear more to the left.

Do you have an idea how to solve this?

Best regards
Dominic

    it's a test to make a score that just works
    but it does not fit
