Hello all,
I am trying to do something that I think would be quite common, placing
chord names for a solo
in the middle of a song. Following the lilypond documentation on
ChordNames and \chordmode,
I came up with the code shown below. The problem is that the chord
names appear below the
staff. In all of the examples shown in the lilypond documentation, the
chord names appear
above the staff, and that is what I want. What am I doing wrong?
Please help if you can.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Jacobs
