Aloha.
I'm trying to improve a score that my colleagues find confusing since
they mis-interpret A(b5) as Ab5; that is, when cis1:5- is transposed to
A(b5).
The transpose (cis to a) is not applied in the example below and that
may further complicate things as I'm not sure whether parentheses
could/should be added before the transpose or after. So, this may
actually be two problems.
So I'm seeking a way to put parentheses around the (b5) superscript. I
found this related snippet in the docs but can't seem to apply it
usefully to this situation.
Suggestions would be much appreciated.
============================= MWE Below ===========================
\version "2.24.2"
% modify maj9 and 6(add9)
% Exception music is chords with markups
chExceptionMusic = {
<c e g b d'>1-\markup { \super "maj9" }
<c e g a d'>1-\markup { \super "6(add9)" }
<cis f g>1-\markup { \super "(-)" }
}
% Convert music to list and prepend to existing exceptions.
chExceptions = #(append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
ignatzekExceptions)
theMusic = \chordmode {
g1:maj9 g1:6.9
\set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
g1:maj9 g1:6.9
cis1:5-
}
\layout {
ragged-right = ##t
}
