Printing named chordsFor displaying printed chord names, use the ChordNames context. The chords may be entered either using the notation described above, or directly using simultaneous music. scheme = \notes { \chords {a1 b c} <<d f g>> <<e g b>> } \score { \notes< \context ChordNames \scheme \context Staff \transpose c c' \scheme > } You can make the chord changes stand out by setting
scheme = \chords { c1:m c:m \break c:m c:m d } \score { \notes < \context ChordNames { \property ChordNames.chordChanges = ##t \scheme } \context Staff \transpose c c' \scheme > \paper{linewidth= 9.\cm} } LilyPond examines chords specified as lists of notes to determine a name to give the chord. LilyPond will not try to identify chord inversions or an added bass note, which may result in strange chord names when chords are entered as a list of pitches: scheme = \notes { <<c' e' g'>>1 <<e' g' c''>> <<e e' g' c''>> } \score { < \context ChordNames \scheme \context Staff \scheme > } The default chord name layout is a system for Jazz music, proposed by Klaus Ignatzek (See Literature). [TODO: add description for banter other jazz.] The Ignatzek chord name formatting can be tuned in a number of ways through the following properties:
