This can probably be done "in one swell foop" by modifying the .scm file that 
generates ChordNames.

The more straight-forward and flexible (if tedious) way is to create your own 
custom chord markup list. I've given you a head start with the attached 
file(s): simply continue adding the markup after the remaining chords in 
chord-name-custom.ly, and see customChords_list.ly for an example of how to 
\include the file in your "real" Lilypond files.

Hope this helps!

My question is this: is there a way to set chordnames so that the chord suffix, 
no matter what it is, is not superscript? In other words, can I make it so that 
"sus4" or "7" has the same baseline and size as the chord root, just like "m" 
does?

While not as 'elegant' I guess, my chord notation needs are simple, so I simply 
define a 'markup' variable which will make the baselines all the same.

Cm7 = \markup { \null \raise #0.5 {\sans \small \general-align #X #CENTER Cm7 } 
}

Then I simply add '\Cm7' thus:

{ c4^\Cm7 }

The other variables \null \raise #0.5 and \general-align #X #CENTER are what I 
find works for me in my compositions, so these might not be apt for you, but I 
hope you can get my point.

chordname suffixes not superscript?

2010-05-29 Thread Christian McConnell
Hello everyone,

I've been a lurker, and I'm still something of a newbie, but I'm enjoying using 
Lilypond and I appreciate the help this list has been.

My question is this: is there a way to set chordnames so that the chord suffix, 
no matter what it is, is not superscript? In other words, can I make it so that 
"sus4" or "7" has the same baseline and size as the chord root, just like "m" 
does?

Thanks,

Chris McConnell
