Re: Help please with alternate jazz chord naming system

[Tim McNamara]

There is also the pop-chords.ly file that can be used for chord names and I am working on modifying the same file to follow the Roemer chord name conventions which I will make available when done.  It appears that the OP would like Real Book style chord names; the pop-chords.ly file is easily modified.  It may be in the Lilypond snippet repository.  If not I can send a copy to the OP.

I do not know how to set things up to use the alternate jazz chord naming system.

Notation p 392 "An alternate jazz chord system has been developed using these modifications. "

The snippet shows what I am doing now.

But the 2nd and 4th chord names are using the Ignatzek name. I want the alternative names per the chart in Notation on page 607

How do I do that?

I have a file called…

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/ly/AccordsJazzDefs.ly

…in my Mac installation of LilyPond, and I \include it near the beginning of the file to get the alternative jazz chord names.

I can’t remember where I got it now, but no doubt Google would help.
