Dear LilyPond Users,
Notation Reference Section 2.7 Chord notation of the GDP has now been
released for public comment. The HTML version of the document is available
at
<http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Chord-notation.h
tml#Chord-notation>.
I surely do not understand well:
"Only the first inversion can be created by adding a bass note. The
second inversion requires changing the root of the chord. "
The example shows the Second inversion of
c'1:
coded as
c':/g
and then the first inversion coded as
e:6-3-^5
and
e:m6-^5
Therefore, it is the first inversion what requires changing the root,
whilst the second inversion CAN be created by adding a bass note. See
