Re: Strumming rhythm for chord progression

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello Christian,

everytime you want to enter chord, you have to put it in \chordmode.  
This version compiled in my Lilypond:
--------------------------------------------------
\version "2.12.2"
\header {
 title = " \"Creep\" by Radiohead"
}
<<
  \new ChordNames {
\chordmode { g1 g1:sus4  }

 }

 \new Voice \with {
   \consists Pitch_squash_engraver
 } \relative c'' {
   %\improvisationOn
g1
%next line should work in chordmode
\chordmode { g1:sus4 }
}
>>
--------------------------------------------------
The \improvisationOn is commented out, because I am not used to it ;)  
and it doesn't look like it is doing the right thing in chordmode(?).  
The g1:sus4 looks the same as the g1.

Cheers,
Jan-Peter.
