And that code is in C++, not Scheme, so I don't know how to override it. I guess one could write a Scheme engraver for ChordName to replace the built-in one. You should also raise an issue on the issues list asking for an enhancement. The enhancement would need to add some additional property (or change the existing property from a simple boolean), because we'd need to separately control hiding of repeated chord names only when not at the beginning of the line, and always hiding repeated chord names. I actually think the best way to do it would be to change the chordChanges property from a boolean to a break-visibility. I can see that being quite easy to do. In the meantime, as a workaround, you might just wish to fill up your chordmode with a bunch of s chords, and only put the chords in where you want them displayed: \version "2.20.0" harmonies = \chordmode { d2 c \break % I don't want the repeated c chord name to display after the line break s d } \new ChordNames { \harmonies } HTH, Carl
