LilyPond has support for printing chord names. Chords may be entered
in musical chord notation, i.e., < .. >
, but they can also be
entered by name. Internally, the chords are represented as a set of
pitches, so they can be transposed
twoWays = \transpose c c' { \chordmode { c1 f:sus4 bes/f } <c e g> <f bes c'> <f bes d'> } << \new ChordNames \twoWays \new Voice \twoWays >>
This example also shows that the chord printing routines do not try to
be intelligent. The last chord (f bes d
) is not interpreted as
an inversion.
Note that the duration of chords must be specified outside the
<>
.
<c e g>2
