Re: [Lilypond] How to get guitar chords to appear at each bar
Merci, Pierre. That succeeded in moving the chord names down to the 5th measure (2nd system? Not sure of proper term here). However, it made me realize that all I had to do was add more chords to the Chords block and voila! Mahalo.

Try:
Chords = \new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##f
\chords {
}
}

Re: [Lilypond] How to get guitar chords to appear at each bar
Mahalo for the reply. I think I understand that (regarding chords). However, I can't get them to appear at all over the verse or chorus, only the first four measures in the Intro. Perhaps it is because I'm using Stanzas? I've tried putting the chords in the first stanza and the chorus to no avail. J.

Is the default is for a chord to appear at its first instance and not in subsequent bars until it changes to a different chord. So if you have four bars of D, you'll get the D chord at the start of the first bar but not the subsequent bars. When it changes to a G chord, you'll get that chord listed and then not again until the next chord change. This is pretty much the norm in guitar charts in general as the page looks very busy and clunky with the same chord being repeated over each bar. > Also, I'm getting a console message saying: > > warning: forced break was overridden by some other event, should you be > using bar checks? > > I'm trying to figure out what this is due to as it may relate to the > question above (I guess). > Any suggestions to get out of the box would be appreciated. On my charts when that happens, somewhere I have made an error in the duration of a note or a chord. Typically I've got an quarter note notated as an eighth note, for example, or there's a problem with a dotted note. I use Lilypond to create jazz band lead sheets so there is a melody and a chord chart simultaneously; the error can be in either. usually it's a typo- I was typing a number of eighth notes and there was supposed to be a quarter note but I typed it as an eighth note. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
[Lilypond] How to get guitar chords to appear at each bar
Aloha.
With various suggestions that I'm very grateful for, I've mostly gotten
this guitar and vocal piece to score reasonably. However, I'm now stuck
trying to get the guitar chords to appear over each measure of the
verses and chorus. I've tried a variety of things but they all seem to
cause the chords to appear as part of the lyrics. I may have boxed
myself in somehow since I'm still a newbie.
Also, I'm getting a console message saying:
warning: forced break was overridden by some other event, should you be
using bar checks?
I'm trying to figure out what this is due to as it may relate to the
question above (I guess).
Any suggestions to get out of the box would be appreciated.
