Then you need \setTextCresc. You may want to download the documentation for version 2.11.49. http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/documentation/lilypond-2.11.49-1.documentation.tar.bz2 Am 08.09.2008 um 08:59 schrieb Stefan Thomas: Dear Kieren, thanks for Your advice. But what can

Hi, it's probably not the best solution but as a workaround you could define a lyrics-context above the staff with the chord font and just write what you want to be displayed. The problem is of course that lyrics won't transpose. regards, Tao Original-Nachricht Datum: Sun,

Yes, I understand it is not possible in the way I tried. But the problem is: I have already defined a \pcresc command and I would like to change it once for the whole score, if possible. 2008/9/8 James E. Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 08.09.2008, at 13:46, Stefan Thomas wrote: Dear James,
