maj13 is *not* a chord name, even though it seems like it is. It is a description of which pitches to place in a chord.
What you will need to do is to add a chord name execption, as described in the selected snippets of Notation Reference 2.7.2 Displaying chords. You'll first need to know what notes LilyPond puts on the page when you do a \chordmode{c:maj13}, because that will be the lookup for the chord name. A simple printout without the chord exception will show that. I added :maj13 to the exceptions snippet mentioned above: % modify maj9 and 6(add9) % Exception music is chords with markups chExceptionMusic = { <c e g b d'>1-\markup { \super "maj9" } <c e g a d'>1-\markup { \super "6(add9)"} <c e g b d' a'>1-\markup {\super "maj13"} } % Convert music to list and prepend to existing exceptions. chExceptions = #( append ( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t) ignatzekExceptions) theMusic = \chordmode { g1:maj9 g1:6.9 c1:maj13 \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions g1:maj9 g1:6.9 g1:maj13 } \layout { ragged-right = ##t } << \context ChordNames \theMusic \context Voice \theMusic >> ~ On 1/23/09 10:38 AM, "Ezequiel Sierra" <esie...@gmail.com> wrote: > ok so i have this > > chordset = \chordmode > { > \override ChordName #'font-size = #-1.0 > r4 c4. r8 r8 r8 c8:maj13 r8 r4. d8:m7 > } > > and inside my choir staff i have > > \new ChordNames \chordsett > > how can i display the maj13 beside the chord C > > note: this is for Chords Name only not for Chord notes > > > Eze _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
