RE: text in chord lines

[Fairchild]

Victor -

By stumbling around, found a way to insert a \markup string in \chords.

Note what happens if \hspace #-2 is deleted or set to +n.  If "tacet"
instead of "Tacet" a little bit of "C" peeks around the \whiteout.  Any
other way to inhibit printing the "C" ?

LSR Worthy?

                          -Bruce

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

CMString  = { <c e g>-\markup { \whiteout { \hspace #-2 "Tacet" } } }
CMStringX = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions CMString #t)
           ignatzekExceptions)
<< { \chords { c1
   \set   chordNameExceptions = #CMStringX c
   \unset chordNameExceptions c }
 } { \relative c'' { c c c } } >>

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Victor -

Thanks for the challenge.

A clean way to do this eludes me.  It seems that markup in \chords { . . . }
is not accepted.  A feature request?

See http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=209 where the answer may reside, but
it's messy.

You can use \markup in the notes, but matching the font and positioning is
also messy.

Others - Guidance please.

Hi,

thanks for responding. I'm using lily 2.11-something, and I wanted to  
annotate something in a \chords part. Here is the relevant bit. If  
you remove the comment character to get the "tacet" in, lily gives an  
error message.

Victor.

\header {
title = "Fredo's Chanson"
subtitle = "For Alto and Guitar (version in A)"
composer = "Victor Eijkhout"
copyright = "C Victor Eijkhout, 2007"
}

\paper {
     ragged-bottom = ##t
     print-page-number = ##t
     % head-separation = 2\mm
     foot-separation = 2\mm
    % #(set-paper-size "letter" 'landscape)
}

alto = \relative { \time 4/4 \clef treble \key a \minor
\relative c'' {
c'8 b a gis a4 b8 c | b8 c16 b a8 gis a4 e8 f |
d4 c8 d e4 e | a,2. s4 \bar ".|."
}
}

thechords = {
\chords {
a2:m a:m/c | b4:dim/d e a2:m |
s1%^"tacet"
| a:m
}
}

<<
{ \thechords }
{ \alto }
 >>

\version "2.10.0"  % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond  
versions.
