Yes, through the definition of predefined diagrams.  See here [1].

Oops, I forgot to paste in the code I wanted to include:


\version "2.19.83"

theChords = { 4  }

<<
  \new ChordNames \with { chordChanges = ##t }
\chordmode { c4 d:m }
  \new FretBoards { \theChords }

Hello Aaron,

Thanks a lot for the hint, I’ll look into FretBoards contexts.

\textLengthOn will help a little; but the resulting diagrams are not 
quite vertically aligned in my testing.  If that is a problem, then 
consider putting the chords into a FretBoards context instead of as 
markup.

fret-diagram layout question

2020-01-16 Thread Jacques Menu 
Hello folks,

This snippet is adapted from the LPNR, with whole notes replaced by quarter 
notes:

\version "2.19.83"

<<
  \new ChordNames {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  \chordmode {
  c4 d:m
}
  }
  \new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
4^\markup {
  \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-3;4-2;3-o;2-1;1-o;"
}
4^\markup {
  \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-2;2-3;1-1;"
}
  }
>>

\layout {
  \context {
\Score
   % \override SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/64)
  }
}



How can this be displayed with the two fret diagrams on one and the same 
horizontal line?
Uncommenting the SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration override is a bit 
artificial, maybe there’s a better way?

Thanks for your help!
