Probably, no-one watching the changes knew that this was a technique. >From the email you linked, I can see the potential for a problem. The Axis_group_engraver in ChordNames does the job of arranging all the within the context into rows on the page. But if ChordNames is inside a Staff, the Staff also has an Axis_group_engraver also trying to do the same job, also collecting the same chord names into rows. You can tell any particular instance of ChordNames to stop doing Axis_group_engraving, so that it stops fighting with the Staff. Or, you can tell a particular instance of Voice (which fits nicely in the Staff) to start doing Chord_name_engraving. I do not know which will work best for lead sheets. << \new ChordNames \chordmode { s1*3 ges4 bes1:m7 } \new Staff \with {\accepts ChordNames } << \new ChordNames \with { \override ChordName #'Y-offset = #-1 \remove Axis_group_engraver } { \chordmode { \repeat percent 4 ces4 f2:m7.3-.5- bes:m7 es:m7 aes:m7 s1*2 } } \new Voice { \key es\minor s1*3 \transpose c c' {bes,4 des ges bes \chordmode { bes,1:m7 } } } >> >> << \new ChordNames \chordmode { s1*3 ges4 bes1:m7 } \new Staff << \new Voice \with { \consists Chord_name_engraver \override ChordName #'Y-offset = #-1 \remove Note_heads_engraver } { \chordmode { \repeat percent 4 ces4 f2:m7.3-.5- bes:m7 es:m7 aes:m7 s1*2 } } \new Voice { \key es\minor s1*3 \transpose c c' {bes,4 des ges bes \chordmode { bes,1:m7 } } } >> >> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
