I want to be able to write out any chord *name*. I'm in the early stages of 
writing a book in two versions, one in English and one in Brazilian Portuguese. 
The Brazilian chord naming standard is different from both the European and the 
American ones, and is not supported in LilyPond's current version; neither is 
the American jazz chord naming standard, with stacked modifiers.

I'm currently trying out an idea given by Mats Bengtsson in the users forum, 
which is to write out the chord names as an additional set of timed lyrics 
above the score. It's easy to do and it works fine, except that the transposing 
function is lost.

All the same, I'd like to try and learn how to write sourcecode for LilyPond. 
Is there a manual or a tutorial? I've looked around but just found a tutorial & 
manual for users, not for developers.

Maybe it would be a good idea to make all the chordname things more
flexible for the users. For example, it would be nice to rename some
chord names like one can already do with \set majorSevenSymbol =
\markup { ... }.

I´d like to have this for the sus4 chords, because i like it more to
have G4 that Gsus4.

So it would be nice if all these new ideas for chords would then be
usable and extensible for every user.

The ToC is only one "list" as any other you can define yourself.

How can I execute lilypond-book from the Mac OS X application? I

I get a command-not-found error. How could I include this command

The scripts are in
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin
(depending on where you installed your LilyPond.app)

Have you followed the instructions in "Notes for the OSX app" in the

Yes, since that I also created the suggested files, and I added them to 
a .profile file in the /Users/admin folder (my home folder), but still 
doesn't work. Is here anybody in the list that owes a Mac and runned 
these commands successfully?

The strange is, that the application works fine.

That's not strange at all, since the GUI has nothing to do with the

If you're not familiar with the command-line, please see some generic

the command-line, please investigate using the normal means: is your 
PATH set correctly, are the files executable, etc.

Well, this is my first Mac (and I switched from Windows not so many time 
ago), with a pre-installed OS, and since I'm the only one using it, I 
didn't thought on changing the predefined user name.

Yes, I'm quite unfamiliar with command-line tools, and I never really 
needed any. For developing, you can use XCode or Eclipse or a lot of 
other tools, for TeX you can use texmaker or TeXShop quite well, for 
Lilypond you have the nice Lilypond.app (although it would be great if 
someone added a numerical indicator for the current cursor position 
because it's quite heavy to debug the source with an editor that doesn't 
show you where the cursor actually is), there are even good and powerful 
editors for CSound as well, etc. But I tried to follow the steps in the 
manual, I created a folder in the /Applications/Lilypond folder (that's 
where I have the Lilypond.app) with the file 'lilypond-book' containing 
the line 'exec 
/Applications/Lilypond/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond-book 
"$@"', as indicated in the manual, I runned the 'chmod u+x 
lilypond-book' command from the recently created bin folder, and I've 
put a .profile file with the content 'export 
PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Lilypond/Lilypond.app/Contents/Resources/bin' 
in my /Users/admin folder, but nothing changed, I get the same error log.


Might you have any idea about what's going on on my machine, taking in 
consideration these things?


Thank you for your help,
Adam

Re: Dashed slur colliding with lyrics

Hi,

a dashed slur collides with the lyrics below. I reduced it to a small
LilyPond source you can see here:

%%   BEGIN   %%
\version "2.10.25"

\score {
{
<<
\relative c' {
 %\slurDashed
 b4( b) e g
}
\addlyrics { testtesttest test test }
>>
}

}
%%   END   %%



If you uncomment the \slurDashed you see the collision. With a solid
slur the collision doesn´t appear (also see the attached images).

Maybe this is a bug, isn´t it?
