I don't know if it's bright or not, but short of going into the
appropriate .scm file and changing the "m" there to a "-", you would
have go do the chordNameExceptions route:
jazzyChordsMusic =
{
<c ees g>-\markup { "-" } % Cm -> C-
<c ees g bes>-\markup { "-7" } % Cm7 -> C-7
<c ees g bes d'>-\markup { "-9" } % Cm9 -> C-9
% Add more as needed
}
jazzyChordsAdd = #(append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions jazzyChordsMusic #t)
ignatzekExceptions)
jazzyChords =
{
\set chordNameExceptions = #jazzyChordsAdd
}
Then, in your chordNames, at the top you would put \jazzyChords in like so:
Chords = \chordmode
{
\jazzyChords
c1:m
c:m7
c:m9
}
There's probably a better way to do it with partial exceptions, but I
can't seem to find a quick 'n' dirty example.
