Hi all,
I’m trying to have Lilypond differentiate between a 7sus4 chord and a m7sus4
chord. I know that they’re the same theoretically… but in context, I believe
the difference is meaningful enough to have both symbols available to use.
This is the way I’m currently accomplishing it:
%%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.21.2"
\language "english"
customChordExceptions = {
<c f g bf>-\markup { \hspace #0.2 "7(sus4)" }
<c g bf f'>-\markup { \hspace #0.2 "m7(sus4)" }
}
newChordExceptionList = #(append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions customChordExceptions #t)
ignatzekExceptions)
\layout {
\context {
\Score
chordNameExceptions = #newChordExceptionList
}
}
{ \new ChordNames \chordmode { c1:7sus4 c1:m7sus4 <c f g bf>1 <c g bf f'>1 } }
%%%% SNIPPET ENDS
As you can see, only the explicit "octave-displaced" version triggers the
desired symbol. Is there a better way of doing what I want?
Thanks,
Kieren.
