Hello.

  

I want to insert a few (not all) chord names in a sheet.

but then the Chord name is below the melody. 



Not so here; this code
  

You missed the .. in the example above. Christian wants to introduce the
ChordNames context in the middle of the piece, not from the top.
The following example shows one way to do it:

\new Staff = mystaff \relative c' {
 c d e f  \chords{ \set alignAboveContext = mystaff cis:m1 } {cis,1 } 
}

Chords problem

[Christian Jägle]

Hi,

I want to insert a few (not all) chord names in a sheet.

I trid the following:

\relative c {
 ..
    \chords { cis:m1 }  
 { cis,1 } 
  ..
}

but then the Chord name is below the melody. How can I achieve, that the chord 
is above the melody line. I thought about an extra chord part with rests 
before and after the wanted chords, but I couldnt make it.

tied chords problem

[VSD]

Hi,

it seems that the current Lilypond version (2.5.28) yet don't handles  
properly the ties in chords with small intervals between notes. e.g, in:


c' g' b' c''4 ~ c' g' b' c''

there's a heavy tie collision. The output I get for this example is shown  
at:


http://personales.ya.com/v_s_d/tied_chords.png

this subject has been discussed in the past, but I haven't found any  
solution in the manual nor in the list archives. I currently cheat this  
problem by drawing those ties in postscript, but that's not very  
functional.


Is there some way to set the direction individually for each tie?

I know that the automatic tie positioning algorithm is complicated. Then,  
would it be possible to extend the TieColumn object to have a direction  
property for each tie, e.g. in a list? Then the user could override it's  
own positioning algorithm more or less like this:



\override TieColumn #'directions = #'(up down down down)
c' g' b' c''4 ~ c' g' b' c''
\tieColumnNeutral   % revert to default


I don't know enough about scheme to know if this makes sense at all. Just  
trying to suggest :)
