Re: chord :dim7

[Frédéric Bron]

I have tried to make a chord exception as indicated in the documentation and in chord-name-exceptions.ly
 to replace "07" by "dim" but it did not work. Here is what I tried:

\version "2.8.7"
\include "english.ly"

chExceptionMusic =  { <gs b d f>4-\markup { G\sharp\super "dim" } }

chExceptions = #(append
         (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
         ignatzekExceptions)

<<
    \chords { \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions gs4:dim7 }
    gs'4
>>

I'm not fully understanding your question, but G#BDF is the spelling for
G#dim7, and G#BD is the spelling for G#dim.  If you simply want to get rid
of the "circle designation" for diminised chords in general, then you can
code a chord names exceptions list and override the circle to print as "dim"
instead.

If you search the archive for "jazzychord" I think you will find an example
of making chord name exceptions list.
