Re: [Lilypond] How to get guitar chords to appear at each bar

[John Helly]

Merci, Pierre.

That succeeded in moving the chord names down to the 5th measure (2nd
system? Not sure of proper term here).  However, it made me realize that
all I had to do was add more chords to the Chords block and voila!

Mahalo.

Try:

Chords = \new ChordNames {

Re: [Lilypond] How to get guitar chords to appear at each bar

[John Helly]

Mahalo for the reply. 

I think I understand that (regarding chords).  However, I can't get them
to appear at all over the verse or chorus, only the first four measures
in the Intro.  Perhaps it is because I'm using Stanzas?  I've tried
putting the chords in the first stanza and the chorus to no avail.

Is the default is for a chord to appear at its first instance and not in 
subsequent bars until it changes to a different chord. So if you have four bars 
of D, you'll get the D chord at the start of the first bar but not the 
subsequent bars. When it changes to a G chord, you'll get that chord listed and 
then not again until the next chord change. This is pretty much the norm in 
guitar charts in general as the page looks very busy and clunky with the same 
chord being repeated over each bar.

On my charts when that happens, somewhere I have made an error in the duration 
of a note or a chord. Typically I've got an quarter note notated as an eighth 
note, for example, or there's a problem with a dotted note. I use Lilypond to 
create jazz band lead sheets so there is a melody and a chord chart 
simultaneously; the error can be in either. usually it's a typo- I was typing a 
number of eighth notes and there was supposed to be a quarter note but I typed 
it as an eighth note.

[Lilypond] How to get guitar chords to appear at each bar

[John Helly]

Aloha.

With various suggestions that I'm very grateful for, I've mostly gotten
this guitar and vocal piece to score reasonably.  However, I'm now stuck
trying to get the guitar chords to appear over each measure of the
verses and chorus.  I've tried a variety of things but they all seem to
cause the chords to appear as part of the lyrics.  I may have boxed
myself in somehow since I'm still a newbie.

Also, I'm getting a console message saying:

warning: forced break was overridden by some other event, should you be
using bar checks?

I'm trying to figure out what this is due to as it may relate to the
question above (I guess). 
Any suggestions to get out of the box would be appreciated.

Thanks, for your suggestion. I had tried something similar but I need to
define new Chordname for each root note. I thought it could be
calculated by lilypond once the list of intervalls has been specified
along with the strings to play them with.

We have the required information in predefined fretboards.  Maybe we
should have a general function for substituting chords with the
predefined shapes rather than only do that as part of fretboard display.

you can define your chord by assembling the six "real" pitches:

% --
g_full = #(define-music-function (parser location) ()
#{
  <g, d g b d' g'>
#})

{
  \new TabStaff {

Problem with line breaks and guitar chords

[David Bellows]

Hello all,

I'm developing a program that does various things to sounds including
various ways of creating scores. One of the things intends to produce
simple guitar chords with fret diagrams, chord names, and strumming
patterns by generating a Lilypond file. I'm currently using the
ragged-right = ##t option in the layout section and most of the time
the results are fine. However, if you compile the following code it
provides an exception as the last line runs way off into the margin
and the last four notes are lost.

From the documentation I'm guessing the reason this is happening is
that the bar lines aren't being properly accounted for on my end as I
am not breaking up durations across bar lines. While maybe, someday,
I'll be able to figure out how to eliminate that problem on my end I
was wondering if there was a way to get Lilypond to skip to the next
line anyway without any kind of manual intervention. There are
something like 2.5 quintillion scores that can be potentially produced
by this software so there is no way to handle them manually.

(Note, I've included the Lilypond file exactly as my program created
it minus the spacing).

Thanks, Dave

David,

That sounds exciting! When I ran your code, just as you gave it above, 
I didn't have _any_ problems (I guess I'm using 2.18.2, but I'm not 
sure why that would make our outputs THAT much different), not even a 
warning.


I've attached my output. It looks fine to me! Hope you can get it 
working.

Abraham

 Hello all, I'm developing a program that does various things to sounds
 including various ways of creating scores. One of the things intends to
 produce simple guitar chords with fret diagrams, chord names, and strumming
 patterns by generating a Lilypond file. I'm currently using the ragged-right
 = ##t option in the layout section and most of the time the results are
 fine. However, if you compile the following code it provides an exception as
 the last line runs way off into the margin and the last four notes are lost.
 From the documentation I'm guessing the reason this is happening is that the
 bar lines aren't being properly accounted for on my end as I am not breaking
 up durations across bar lines. While maybe, someday, I'll be able to figure
 out how to eliminate that problem on my end I was wondering if there was a
 way to get Lilypond to skip to the next line anyway without any kind of
 manual intervention. There are something like 2.5 quintillion scores that
 can be potentially produced by this software so there is no way to handle
 them manually. (Note, I've included the Lilypond file exactly as my program
 created it minus the spacing). Thanks, Dave \version 2.19.11 \header {

 David,

 That sounds exciting! When I ran your code, just as you gave it above, I
 didn't have _any_ problems (I guess I'm using 2.18.2, but I'm not sure why
 that would make our outputs THAT much different), not even a warning.

 I've attached my output. It looks fine to me! Hope you can get it working.

 Regards,
 Abraham

Custom guitar chords

Hi,

Here is a sample:


\version 2.12.1

\score {

\chords {
e1:sus4 g e:m b:m
}
\relative c'
{
e8.
^\markup \fret-diagram #f:2;6-o;5-o;4-2-2;3-2-3;2-o;1-o;
e16( e8) e8 e16 d e8 r4 | e8 e e16 e8 e16 e8 e( b'4) |
b8 a g16 g8 fis16 fis g e8 r8. e16 | fis8
^\markup \fret-diagram #f:2;5-o;4-4-3;3-4-4;2-o;1-2-1;
fis16 e fis8 g16 fis( fis4) g16( fis e fis)
}

}


So I'm having normal chords like 'g' and 'e:m' but I have two custom
chords as well. I have a problem and a question as well.

First, currently the output has Bm for my chord, but actually I would
like to have it as 'Bm \super omit3/A'. (No, I don't really mind about
the midi output. :) )

Second, It's a bit ugly to define the custom chords inside the notes and
not in the \chords secion. Is it possible to do something like
^\markup in the \chords section?

Thanks!

Would you really like a Bm with the third missing and an A bass?  If so, you
could use

b:m-3/+a

I think you'll still need to use the chord name markup that Robin showed
you, but at least you'll have the right notes.

 
 Second, It's a bit ugly to define the custom chords inside the notes and
 not in the \chords secion. Is it possible to do something like
 ^\markup in the \chords section?

I think you'll be much happier if you use the FretBoards context for your
fret diagrams, instead of using markups on the notes.  Please see section
2.4.1 of the Notation Reference, especially the section on Predefined fret
diagrams.  You can define the fret diagram for your b:m-3/+a chord once, and
use it multiple times in your work.  If you can't figure out how to do it,
I'll be happy to give you some more guidance.

As a preview, you'd add the following to the top of your file:

\include predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly

\storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode { e:sus4 }
   #guitar-tuning
   #x;;4-3;4-4;;2-1;

Then you'd add a new context between your ChordNames context and your Staff
context:

\new FretBoards {e1:sus4 }

guitar chords

[Zoltan Kota]

Hi,

I'm newbie here. I have just started to learn lilypond. It looks very nice
(altough it needs some time to learn syntax, commands and tricks). :-)

Is it possible to add guitar chords above a staff (accompanying guitar
chords for a vocal)? Like Em, D, C, H, etc. I have played with \chords,
\chordmode, ChordNames, but I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing:

introchords = \chordmode { e2:min d4 c2. b2. b2. e2:min d4 c2. b2. b2 }

  \new ChordNames {
\germanChords \introchords }
  \context Voice { \Intro }


I couldn't add H4 (B4) for example.

At the link below you can find my first  lilypond source file, and the
original, manually prepared score in jpg I would like to reproduce. It would
be nice if somebody could check it and let me know my mistakes, and give
some suggestions how it can be improved.

You're making it too complicated.  Try to add the following:

versechords = \chords { e2:m d4 c2. } %etc, 

and replace your current score section with the following:

\score {
 
\versechords
\context ChoirStaff 
\context Voice = sop \Soprano 
\new Lyrics \lyricsto sop  \soptext
\context Voice = ooo \Chor
\new Lyrics \lyricsto ooo  \chortext

  
}

Also, in the ooo section, you could replace  Oo- with Oo __ (two
underscores), that will produce nice extenders under the whole chord
passage.

 I couldn't add H4 (B4) for example.

b:sus4 is probably what you're after.

Re: Musical notation of guitar chords.

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

I assign my fret markup to variables like this:

frIFDomSevFltNinI = \markup { \center-align { 
\line { F \super \line { 7 \raise #0.5 \flat 9 } } 
\fret-diagram-terse #2;x;1;2;1;x;
 } }

frICI = \markup { \center-align { 
\line { C \super \line {  } } 
\fret-diagram-terse #x;3;2;o;1;o;
 } }

frIIDDimSevIII = \markup { \center-align { 
\line { D \super \line { dim7 } } 
\fret-diagram-terse #x;x;3;4;3;4;
 } }

etc...

And I keep them all in a separate \include file.

Then I simply re-state those variables in a Lyrics Staff above the music
Staff with the duration number behind the variable names.  By using an
\include file I can get some re-useablity of my fret board markups, and over
time build up a chord library.


Here is an example of an arrangement I did that uses this technique:

http://www.windcrestsoftware.com/Rick/DannyBoy.pdf


For the markup shown above make sure the Lyric Text context sets the word
spacing to a small value like .1 otherwise the letters will be too spread
out.

LyricText #'word-space=0.1

Re: Guitar Chords

[Ed Ardzinski]

Chord Mode apparently has little utility in actually scoring notes, unless 
you want to use block chords.  You could try to use fret diagrams with 
markup, or I think you are stuck manually scoring your chords on a staff.


Even if six note chords could be specified it would still be restrictive.  
There are too many ways a guitar chord could be voiced, IMO.


Besides, guitarists don't actually read music, do they? ;-)

(just kidding, this guitarist does...)

Re: Guitar Chords

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

Here is a recent arrangement I did of Danny Boy using only the fretboard
markup commands:

http://www.windcrestsoftware.com/Rick/DannyBoy.pdf

It uses the terse syntax and does the chord names with markup also, it's
working out pretty good so I'll prpbably begin doing all may backlogged
arrangements similarly.  So I have complete control over the chord names. 
I'm a new LP user.  I'll be adding a polyphony staff too once I get the bass
line rhythm worked out, right now it only shows a melody line.

Guitar Chords

[Nick]

I am trying to put some of my favorite songs on the guitar into
lilypond. I noticed that the \chordmode creates 3 note (Piano ?) chords.
Is there a way to force it to do 6 note chords by default?

Is anyone out there using this for guitar (pop) music. I would like to
hear how detailed you have gotten with it and what challenges that the
software presented.

Currently I am trying to enter a C#m chord 446654. And having a bit of a
challege. Any suggestions

Nick

classical notation for barre guitar chords

[Kai Gorlich]

Hi all,

I would like to write classical guitar music and am looking for a way to 
include a vertical line spanning either the complete staff or parts of it, to 
be placed in front of a chord or the first note of it, indicating a barre chord 
in the left hand.

Is there any way?

Cheers
Kai

Guitar: clef for classical Guitar notation / barr guitar chords

[Kai Gorlich]

Hi all,

first of all many thanks for this great software. 

In classcial guitar notation the clef C bears an 8 directly attached to it to 
show that the instrument is noted an octave lower than it sounds. Is there a 
clef in the repository?

I managed to work out the fingering but is there a way to add barrs to the 
notes (not tabulator, in the actual notes)?

Cheers
Kai

Did you look in the section on Clefs in the manual?

Capoed guitar chords

[David A. Rogers]

It is common in our church music to have both normal chords and the capoed
versions (when necessary) in the music.  The capoed chords are in
parenthesis.  I have figured out how to have both sets of chords over the
staff, but I haven't figured out how to put parenthesis around the capoed
chords.  Is there any way to do this in lily?

Thanks,
dar

Guitar Chords in Tab

[Lyle Raymond]

New Question:

following is a short lilypond script which ought to illustrate the fingering 
for an e-form A major chord.  After rendering, I get a block of tab 
fingerings with a large stem running through it.  How do I avoid this?

.lp code follows: --v

  1 \score{
  2 \notes {
  3 a e' a' cis'' e'' a''2
  4 \context TabStaff
  5 {\property TabStaff.minimumFret = #5
  6 a,\6 e\5 a\4 cis'\3 e'\2 a'\1}
  7 }
  8 \paper{}
  9 }

Thank you in advance for the answer.

Lyle
