3) I don´t think, it´s possible to let LilyPond decide how to print
stanzas at the end.

It should certainly no be impossible, but would require you to
implement this "intelligence" using Scheme functions.

Hi

I have a couple of questions, that I couldn't figure out in the
documentation.

1) If I have a set of chords that I'd like to be printed like this:
Fm  -/Eb  Bb/D
how do I then get the dash ("-") symbol (meaning "repeat the previous chord,
now with Eb in the bass"?

2) I'm danish, and we write "H" instead of "B". How do I get lilypond to
write "H" in a chord instead of "B".

3) When writing a song with lyrics, for instance a Christmas carol, there a
alot of additional verses. I read "7.3.9.4 Printing stanzas at the end" on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Vocal-music,
but that a) seems cumbersome b) doesn't seem to allow spacing between verses
and c) is in one column. Ideally I'd like to simply enter the additional
verses in raw text, and have lilypond figure out how to place them, for
instance by looking at blank lines (separating verses) which in case of 5
additional verses should be like this (centered):

2. this is          4. this is
  verse two           verse four

3. this is          5. this is
  verse three         verse five

          6. this is
             verse six

If the lines are too long it should be printed like this (centered):

2. this is verse two
  with a looong line

3. this is verse three
  with a looong line

4. this is verse four
  with a looong line

5. this is verse five
  with a looong line

6. this is verse six
  with a looong line

I hope my questions are clear, and sorry if I overlooked it in the manual.
