Hi Jacques,
it seems that you just forgot to write "1" in the first chord. Part_POne_HARMONIES_Staff_Voice_Eleven_HARMONIES = \chordmode { \language "nederlands" \key c \major \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 \clef "treble" c1:m f:m7 g:maj7 cis4:aug/gis %%%%% <----- HERE } Part_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One = \absolute { \language "nederlands" \key c \major \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 \clef "treble" f'4 e'8 [ c' ] d'4 g' | % 2 \barNumberCheck #2 } \book { \score { << \new PianoStaff << \context ChordNames = "Part_POne_HARMONIES_Staff_Voice_Eleven_HARMONIES" \Part_POne_HARMONIES_Staff_Voice_Eleven_HARMONIES \new Staff = "Part_POne_Staff_One" << \context Voice = "Part_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One" << \Part_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One >> >> >> >> \layout { } } } Not writing any duration, also for a normal note is by default a quarter note. F.ex. {c'} gives Cheers, Martín. www.martinrinconbotero.com > > On Oct 20, 2022 at 2:23 PM, <Jacques Menu (mailto:imj-...@bluewin.ch)> > wrote: > > > Hello folks, > > > Strangely enough, the first three chords in > Part_POne_HARMONIES_Staff_Voice_Eleven_HARMONIES below are quater notes, and > not whole notes as I expected. > > > > Any hint why is welcome! > > > > JM > > > > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > > > > > \version "2.23.13" > > > > Part_POne_HARMONIES_Staff_Voice_Eleven_HARMONIES = \chordmode { > > \language "nederlands" > > \key c \major > > \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 > > > > \clef "treble" > > c:m f:m7 g:maj7 cis4:aug/gis %%%%% <----- HERE > > } > > > > Part_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One = \absolute { > > \language "nederlands" > > \key c \major > > \numericTimeSignature \time 4/4 > > > > \clef "treble" > > f'4 e'8 [ c' ] d'4 g' | % 2 > > \barNumberCheck #2 > > } > > > > \book { > > \score { > > << > > > > \new PianoStaff > > << > > \context ChordNames = > "Part_POne_HARMONIES_Staff_Voice_Eleven_HARMONIES" > > \Part_POne_HARMONIES_Staff_Voice_Eleven_HARMONIES > > > > \new Staff = "Part_POne_Staff_One" > > << > > \context Voice = "Part_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One" << > > \Part_POne_Staff_One_Voice_One > > >> > > >> > > > > >> > > > > >> > > > > \layout { > > } > > } > > > > } > > > > > > > > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > > > > > > > > > >
