Thanks for the advice.
The suggestions would be great if I were more proficient at writing
out music in general. I think what I'm trying to figure out is the
best way to approximate the correct phrases quickly without taking
the time to be accurate. I'm very slow at determining music notation
and for me to actually work out the note durations for all of our
songs would take forever (I'm working of guitar lessons I had back
when I was in high school early college). I know HOW to work it
out (conceptually) but its a very slow unnatural process for me.
My main requirements are:
- Have a chord line up over the right word
Hm, there are mechanisms which should make it possible to align words to
chords, but it probably requires some nonstandard trickery. Probably you can
do something like
harmonies = \new ChordNames=harmonies \chordmode {
b2 f2 es2 f2/es % and so on ...
}
\score {
\harmonies
\new Lyrics \lyricsto harmonies { Over all the earth You reign on
high }
% so that lyrics can align to music in the context
\context { \ChordNames \alias Voice }
}
If rhythm is unimportant, you can try \cadenzaOn (turns off automatic
barlines), and then use \bar | to add bars.
- Multiple verses of lyrics under one line (staff) of chords
Ideally I would be able to format it as a chord in the given key (for
bass piano) optionally have another staff that shows chord names
transposed for use with a capo.
I think what I'm running into is just that your average run of the
mill rock guitar player (i.e. myself) is out of touch enough with the
correct way of reading writing music that it might be a difficult
switch for me. Its my deficiency, not the software.
I've managed to output a sample song with the correct chord / word
alignment, but the bar lines are in all kinds of chaotic places since
every syllable is (I'm assuming) interpreted as a quarter note. At
this point I'm down to trying to figure out a consistent method for
reducing everything to 32nd or 64th notes based on syllables, filling
whatever isn't used with rests just trying to write an app to
convert some simple text file into an .ly file.
Really Lilypond probably is overkill for what I need, but there isn't
anything else out there that does what I need any better. There's
not much out there for that stage between a word processor document
and the need for full blown sheet music.
Any other thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated, but I
understand if I'm just outside of the box here.

I'm not fully understanding your question, but G#BDF is the spelling for
G#dim7, and G#BD is the spelling for G#dim. If you simply want to get rid
of the circle designation for diminised chords in general, then you can
code a chord names exceptions list and override the circle to print as dim
instead.
If you search the archive for jazzychord I think you will find an example
of making chord name exceptions list.

Frédéric Bron wrote: Does this mean that if I want all dim7 chords be written dim, I need to code 12 exceptions, one for each note? No, the exceptions list would only need one exception coded with a root of C, in your case c ef gf to override dim and c ef gf bff to override dim7. I've done over a hundred songs already in many keys and all my exceptions work, I have, over time, added exceptions as I need them. This way your exceptions list will eventually mature to the point where all names come out the way you want them to whenever you start a new piece. But I dont code chord names directly, I code notes within the ChordNames context to generate the names, note stacks just make more sense to me than trying to remember all the little name fragments, where the colons go, etc. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/chord-%3Adim7-tf2554083.html#a7123592 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Also your exception should not contain a duration indication, you have a
quarter note specified, here is one of my exceptions pasted verbatim:
c e gs bf df'-\markup \super \line { 7 \hspace #0.45 \override
#'(baseline-skip . .5) \column { \line { \teeny \raise #0.5 \flat 9 } \line
{ \teeny \raise #0.5 \sharp 5 } } }
change yours to remove the quarter note, like this:
chExceptionMusic = { gs b d f-\markup { G\sharp\super dim } }

Hi Fred, thanks for taking your time ... it seems LP is not really fond
of applying chord names to a score that has two voices! If I put the end
bracket after the end of part two (the bass voice), LP gives me the
first part with chords above staff, then the second part (meant to lie
below the first one but on the same system) by itself. If the end
bracket is after part one, the chord symbols appear below the staff!
Can you help me out on this one?
