Re: 2 muisc + tablature in 2 staves

[Richard Schoeller]

You might prefer to use FretBoards context in between the ChordNames and the Staff.  That way you will have the fret diagrams taken directly from your chord choices rather than having to enter the same information twice.

mychords = \chordmode { your chords }

<<
  \new ChordNames { \mychords }
  \new FretBoards { \mychords }
  \new Staff \relative c' { your music (with fret diagrams as \markups }
  \new TabStaff { your tabs }
>>

I'm quite new to this tool and am trying to create sheet muisc for blues
guitar. I've been trying to use tuxguitar as the input tool and that works
pretty well except for one issue: It cannot seem to print the chord names
over the music (upper)  staff.
    

Greetings,

you just have to use the appropriate contexts; in your case, that
would look like

<<
  \new ChordNames \chordmode { your chords }
  \new Staff \relative c' { your music (with fret diagrams as \markups }
  \new TabStaff { your tabs }
  

Obviously, you will have to read the documentation since chords and
notes are entered using a specific syntax:
