"Ignatzek" is an unfunctional set of chord designations which nobody
uses :-)

re: jazz chords superscript

[steve berthiaume]

mats advice helped; i'll post the code as reference for anyone else.

note:  i'm still trying to decode the regression test- what's the "ignatzek"
thing all about?  is that something someone added to lilypond, and the
program will know what to do with it?

here's the code:

\version "2.10.20"


sl = {
  \override NoteHead #'style = #'slash
  \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
}

\score

{\relative c'



   {  \sl
   b'4^\markup {"G#mi" \super "9"} b b b
   }

}

What LilyPond version do you use? Please always try to include a complete
(but short) example of LilyPond code, that can be run directly through 
LilyPond,
which shows what you have tried, when sending a question to the mailing 
list.


I suspect that the problem is not the \super command, which is a valid
markup command, but hash mark "#" in G#mi, since hash marks are used
to tell LilyPond that "Here comes some embedded code in the Scheme
programming language". Try adding double quotes around the "G#mi"
and see if it works better.

hello,

i'm trying to define a set of custom chords for use in jazz charts, 
and i would like to be able to have the numbers (7, 9, 11, 13, etc) 
raised above the chord name.  I use Brandt-Roemer standardized chord 
notation, so my chords look like Cmi7, Cma9, Cdim, Cmi7b5 etc.


I've checked out the regression test, 
 
and it says to add a superscript, the number has to be preceded by 
\super.  i've tried this in the following example, and i get an 
'unknown escaped string "\super"' error:



b4^\markup {G#mi \super "9"}

what am i doing wrong?

thanks,

-steve
