Thank you Janek,
for your quick response. It pointed me in the right direction.
I'm including my simple example that works the way I want. It generates a
score with chord names in one file and just the chords with bar lines in a
second file.
\version "2.12.3"
titleJohn = "John"
melodyJohn =
{
\partial 4 \times 2/3 { d'8 ( e'8 fis'8 -) }
{
\repeat volta 2 { g1 c g}
\alternative {{d1}{d1}}
}
} % End melody
chordsJohn = \relative c' {
\chordmode {
\partial 4 s4
\repeat volta 2 { g1 c g }
\alternative {{d1}{d1}}
}
}
chordNamesJohn = \new ChordNames \with {
\override BarLine #'bar-size = #6
\override ChordName #'font-size = #6
\override ChordName #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -1)
\consists "Bar_engraver"
}
{
\chordsJohn
}
\book {
\header { title = \titleJohn }
\score {
<<
\chordNamesJohn
\new Staff {
\melodyJohn
}
>>
\layout {}
}
}
\book {
\header { title = \titleJohn }
\score {
\chordNamesJohn
\layout {}
}
}
