LilyPond uses two conventions for noting chords. I have never seen either one ever used in printed music, and with any luck at all I never will. Why not just use text/fingering or lyrics(?) for your chords? daveA -- Practice pie charts, plans and schedules are good. Practice logs, diaries and records are good. When they fail, and they will, do another. How else can repeated failure be a recipe for success? The only technical exercises for all guitarists worth a lifetime of practice: "Dynamic Guitar Technique". Nothing else is close.
