I found the following fix in the LSR, which puts volta brackets above the
chord names:
\version 2.10.0
\score {
\new ChordNames \with {
voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
} \chordmode {
c1 c
}
\new Staff \with {
voltaOnThisStaff = ##f
}
{
\repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative { c' }
}
}
I am a new guitar class student and I don't know much of notes and the music

I'd like to to engrave the following sharp signs to the beginning of the

I thought I can use the \transpose command but
Many thanks Tao,

but then I will have to encode all c, f, and g notes as cis, fis, and gis
respectively, because lilypond puts a natural sign in front of the first c,
f, g note. am I correct ?
I was expecting *some kind* of automatic mechanism for that, though I am not

hi Vasil,
what you want to use is called 'key signature' in english.
in this case you have the key of a major or f-sharp minor, so your code needs
the following at the beginning of your piece:
\key a \major
or
\key fis \minor
the transpose command will only transpose the key signature if it
Quoting Tao Cumplido [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
\key c \major
\transpose c a { music }
Should have been
\transpose c a {
\key c \major
... music ...
}
-otherwise the key signature would not be transposed.
