Re: Chord chart layout

[Mats Bengtsson]

Are you sure that you tried the example before submitting it?
The following modified version is hopefully more close to what
Thibaut asked about:

\version "2.8.0"
\new ChordNames \with
       {
            \override BarLine #'bar-size = #4
            voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
            \consists Bar_engraver
        \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = ##f
   }
       <<
       \repeat unfold 8 {  s1*4 \break  }

   \chordmode {
         \set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
     r4 f1:maj7 ees:maj7 d2:7.9- d2:7 d1:7
     g:m7 g:m7 bes:m7 ees:7
     a:m7 d:m7 g:m7 c:7
     e2:m7.5- a:7.9- d:m7 g:7 g1:m7 c:7
     f1:maj7 ees:7 d2:7.9- d:7 d1:7
     g:m7 g:m7 bes:m7 ees:7
     a:m7 d:m7 b:m7.5- bes:7
     a2:m7 d:m7 g:m7 c:7 f2:6 bes:6 g2:m7 c:7 f1:6
   }
>>

\layout{
 indent = 0
}
\paper{
 between-system-space = 10\mm % Default is 20mm
 between-system-padding = 2\mm % Default is 4mm
}
