Hi, I'm writing a lead sheet with one staff with melody and chords and I have the following problem: because I have some repeats (\alternative), the chords are printed above it, and this creates lot of space between the melody and the chords. There is a way to move the chords closer to the melody,

A question I can't seem to find the answer to in the manual or online: Is it possible to represent powerchords, i.e. those consisting of only a root note and fifth, in the ChordNames notation? Using ^3 as part of the notation does not produce the desired effect, the chord is still rendered as a

LilyPond comes with a small program that can convert a MIDI file into the input format used in LilyPond. However, it is well-known that this program does not work very well and most people who try it seem to come to the conclusion that it's much faster to enter the music directly in LilyPond instea

I essentially agree with you in the fact that a printed score is a more synthetic representation of the musician's intention than a midifile or a recording of an actual performance. Nevertheless the process of converting a particular rendering to a printed score is possible; it is an art itself and
