If I remember correctly, this is something like:
\new Staff = mystaff { \new Voice = music {%add notes here...
}}
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext=mystaff} \lyricsto music
\lyricmode {% add chord names here}
What I proposed to Tao was to use explicit syllable durations
in the Lyrics, i.e. not to use \lyricsto. Then, it's just to insert the
\new Lyrics above the \new Staff to get it above the stave.
(Tao, post an example of what you tried if this answer is not
sufficient.)

Hi, I tried your suggestion and works really good so far, thanks. The only problem is that I can't find a way to place the chords above the staff now.

Re: Can I have my own custom LilyPond?
Hello, I also use my own font. I am no programmer, so I use skips with the chords attached as TextScript. Maybe it would really be nice to have different Chord symbol solutions available since there's not standardised way to do it. For example a major 7 chord can be written the following ways: CM CM7 CMaj7 Cmaj7 Cj7 CΔ and there are probably more. I am no great fontdesigner so my font consists for most parts of glyphs from other fonts which come with LilyPond. So far I only use it for private purposes so I don't know if it's a problem to publish a chart here on the list. But I'd like to help if I can. regards, Tao Original-Nachricht Datum: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 18:32:13 +0200 Von: Dominic Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: PabloZum [EMAIL PROTECTED], lilypond-user@gnu.org Betreff: Re: Can I have my own custom LilyPond?

Can I have my own custom LilyPond?
I'm rather dissatisfied with the way LilyPond prints chord names. After trying all the ideas some people here have generously given me to try and use my own chord-name font, I've come to the conclusion that the only practical way to achieve what I want is by changing the sourcecode to fit my own fairly idiossincratic chord-name style. Is it possible to do that? I mean, to fiddle with the sourcecode, change it to my own requirements and have an indepedent LilyPond? If so, which files are relevant?___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Can I have my own custom LilyPond?
This is possible, because LilyPond is completely open source. But before trying to do this, please describe what you want to do. Maybe others are interested in that way of printing chordnames, too. Maybe there´s a way to provide a patch for LilyPond that your ideas can become part of the official LilyPond. 2007/7/24, PabloZum [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm rather dissatisfied with the way LilyPond prints chord names.

I'd recommend that you look at scm/chord-generic-names.scm. To my quick look, this is where chord names come from. Rather than write your own separate Lilypond, and force you to maintain your version, I'd recommend that you just define your own chord name style. In chord-generic-names.scm you'll see that there are at least two different chord name styles, banter-chord-names and jazz-chord-names. You could add your own pablo-chord-names function, add it to Lilypond, and move on forward. You can make changes to .scm files without recompiling Lilypond, and you can send patches to the lilypond-devel list; the patches will either be approved and applied, or you'll receive suggestions on how to improve the patches to make them acceptable for Lilypond.
