Well, here is a cross-referenced parade of partly awful ties.
\version "2.17.7" \header { tagline = ##f title = "Conny rates Jazz" } \score { { $@(map! (lambda (p d) #{ \footnote #'(1 . 2) % This is the simplest way to make a chord name markup? Ugh. \markup \score { \new ChordNames { < $@p > } \layout { } } Stem < $@p >$@d #}) ; this $@ produces elements for a sequential music list via map!. Each ; element is constructed from p, a list of pitches making up a chord, ; and from d, which is a list first containing a duration followed by ; _optional_ articulations, so $@d actually can return several tokens of ; _different_ type. ; ; The following form constructs the list of pitch lists for use in p (map! (lambda (i) (map! (lambda (i) (ly:make-pitch 2 (+ 1 (* 9 (quotient i 5)) (* i -2)) 0)) (iota 5 i))) (append! (iota 34) (list 32))) ; The following form constructs an (end-less) list of lists containing ; a duration and maybe articulations. (apply circular-list (map! (lambda (m) (cons (ly:music-property m 'duration) (ly:music-property m 'articulations))) (extract-typed-music #{ s4.~ s~ s4~ s2~ s2 #} 'skip-event)))) <c' e' g' a' c''>1 \bar "|." } \midi { \tempo 4 = 220 \set Staff.midiInstrument = "acoustic grand" } \layout { } }
