Thanks, for your suggestion. I had tried something similar but I need to
define new Chordname for each root note. I thought it could be
calculated by lilypond once the list of intervalls has been specified
along with the strings to play them with.

Yes, that would be nice :-)

adding common guitar chords

[Julien Cubizolles]

Hello list, I'm very new to lilypond so please forgive me if what I'm
asking is obvious but I needed to type some chords commonly used on a
guitar: for instance a g major chord using all 6 chords would be played
with fingers at frets 355433 (from the bass). In chord mode, I could
only achieve it with the following

--8<---cut here---start->8---
\chordmode {\set TabStaff.minimumFret = #2
\set TabStaff.restrainOpenStrings = ##t
g,,4:16.8.10.12.15^3.7.9.11.13}
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

That's a lot to type for something so common. Is there a way to define
such a chord and name it (with the "full" suffix for example) so that in
chordmode one could use g:full, c:full and so on ? Maybe there is
already a snippet for it but I couldn't find it so far.

Thanks for your help,

Julien.
