I will be the first one to admit that I don't work with chords frequently. I'm

wanted to make some changes to some of the defaults, I decided to make a

little list of all the chords, and what is typed in order to get lilypond to

display them. I've run into some chords that I don't know how to name

properly, so I thought I would ask for help. I would like I know what I need

to type in order to get these chords. Here is what I want, and what I've

tried:

James,

Have you read the section in the notation reference on chord notation

(2.7.1)?

Yes I have, but like I say, I don't do much with chords, so I thought that I was doing it right.

The reason I ask is that most of your chord notations do not comply with the

stated syntax rules.

Also, you should check out appendix B2 of the Notation Reference; it has

lots of these.

Now that's good, I didn't even know it was there (I used B1) and the . to separate the numbers was exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks tons!
