Chord diagrams
A simple problem, I hope I have a local copy of predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly I used a C chord with G bass and noticed that I got a three string chord open G 1st fret B and open E This * is* a C with the bottom note a G But every guitar player I know would play that as G on the low E string C on the A string E on the D string G string open C on the B string and Open High E What do I need to hack in the predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly to get the chord diagram that I want? I tried the following without success \storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode {c:/g} #guitar-tuning #"3-4;3-3;2-2;o;1-1;o;" But it didn't break everything else, so I may be close Cheers, -Don -- Don Gingrich ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Chord diagrams
You can find a huge library of predefined guitar fretboards here: https://github.com/Philomelos/lilypond-predefined-fretboards/blob/master/README.org (The documentation is not complete but I think you get the gist. You can find loads of examples in the test files (https://github.com/Philomelos/lilypond-predefined-fretboards/tree/master/EADGBE/test).)

Guitar Chord Diagrams
Hello, Is there any way to put guitar chord diagrams in a score. Thanks, Rick ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Linux:Noteedit:Guitar chord diagrams
Version 2.0.0 of the musical scores editor NoteEdit is available: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html New features: - guitar chord diagrams - chord annotation - tse3-0.2.3 (and tse3-0.1.2, tse3-0.1.2) compatible - bug converning replay of non-balanced repeats fixed x Many thanks to Mikhail Yakshin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. x I used about 2000 lines from his kguitar project x (http://kguitar.sourceforge.net). x Note! kguitar is still under development. So excuse some x small problems. For instance: If you can't your preferred chord x diagram for a certain chord please set the fingers "by hand"! Some aspects of exporting guitar chord diagrams! MUP can deal with chord names and chord diagrams. But it expects a chord diagram dictionary at top of file. Actually this is no problem. But if you attach 2 different chord diagrams for the same chord name there is no possibility to to distinguish the 2 forms. To give every chord diagram an unique name NoteEdit adds some underscores to the chord name. So be not surprised if you named a chord "C7" and "_C7" is printed! MUP cannot deal with a mix of some chords with chord diagram and some chords without chord diagram. MUP cannot deal with barre. MusiXTeX has an additional package called MusiXGui. This allows to annotate guitar chord diagrams and chord names. It works but unfortunately there is no possibility to add a fret information. So, if the fret is not equal 1 NoteEdit appends the fret information to the chord name. MusiXTeX/MusiXGui can only deal with full barre. LilyPond cannot deal with guitar chord diagrams. Actually it has a special feature for chord name annotation. But this is unusable for NoteEdit export because it tries reverse mapping from pitch combination to chord name. Thus, NoteEdit exports the chord names as ordinary uptext. Unfortunately, LilyPond does not take the width of the uptext into account. So it can happen the chords overlap. LilyPond has problems with # signs in uptext. Therfore # is converted into +. PMX can neither deal with chord names nor with guitar cord diagrams. Thus, NoteEdit omits the information. -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
guitar chord diagrams
I wrote a little script to layout guitar chord diagrams which can be placed above a line of music. You need lilypond-book to put it to use. I created a little demo which is described in the file gtrchord-eps.html It still needs work on the chord name labels as I haven't figured out how to display chords names like Am69. It has been hosted on savannah.gnu.org and can be downloaded at. http://freesoftware.fsf.org/download/gtrchord-eps/ The tarball contains all the demo files. I haven't tried in on windows yet but hope to have a report soon. ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You can make good ones with code page 437, and there is a font from IBM that's free to use, so that could presumably be done using \verbatim somehow. That would use minimal memory and have much less file size increase than with images, It should be very easy but I don't have the faintest idea how to put that together. If you want black blobs, you could make them with noteedit, screen capture as pngs, and insert those. Noteedit's diagrammer is really quick and easy to use.

I'm sure it's described in the manual. See: #(define flat '((raise . 0.2) (font-relative-size . -1) (music (named "accidentals--1" #(define sharp '((raise . 0.4) (font-relative-size . -1) (music (named "accidentals-1" \score { \notes { c2^"very wide and long text" c \break \fatText % short for \property Voice.textNonEmpty = ##t c2^"wide and long text with $\\sharp$ and $\\flat$" c | \break c^#`("C " ,sharp) c^#`("C " ,flat) } \paper{ indent = 0.0\mm linewidth = 70.0\mm } } > LilyPond has problems with # signs in uptext. Therfore # is > converted into +. If you go through TeX, you can't use the tex macro parameter character `#'. However, you can use $\sharp$ and $\flat$ (how do you do flat and natural now?). A much more beautiful option is to use markup text and use LilyPond's feta font characters. See above.

First thanks for the help getting started with Lilypond! In my course documentation I will need a flexible means to generate chord diagrams.
