Re: beginner problems

[Mats Bengtsson]

Since it's possible to have different key signatures on different
staves in a score (for example if you have transposing instruments),
you have to specify the key signature in every Staff context.
You want one line of chords and one staff with key signature and
music, so just include the key signature together with the music:

<<
\chords { d1:m | bes1 | a1:7 | d2:m g4 a4:7 | }

\relative d'' {
\time 4/4 \key d \minor
d8. a16~ a8 f16 d16~ d16 d16 f16 a16 d16 c16 b16 a16 |
bes8. f16~ f8 d16 bes16~ bes16 bes16 d16 f16 bes16 a16 g16 f16 |
g8. e16~ e8 cis16 a16~ a16 a16 cis16 e16 a16 g16 f16 e16|
d16 cis16 d16 e16 f16 e16 f16 g16 a16 g16 a16 b16 cis16 a16 b16 cis16 |
}
