Re: question about minor + fourth

[Benjamin Poly]

Thanks for the code you sent me in private Jacques, it's full of useful examples but I still can't make this particular chord work.

I want to display a minor chord with a fourth like this: "Am (add4)". That's all I want to do.
First I'm surprised that I have to specify the chord (in the variable chExceptionMusic) in a note to note format (in this case <a c e d>). Is it not possible to specify it in a chord name format ?

And second how should I write my chord (A minor with a fourth) in the chordMode format ?
a:m.4 doesn't work and a:m4 does'nt display the chord correctly.

Hello Benjamin,

The error you get is due to wrong syntax, no problem.

You can display chords your own way with something like the following, see Customizing chord names

 in the Notation Reference :

% Exception music is chords with markups

chExceptionMusic = {

  <c ees ges bes>1-\markup { \super {"-7(" {\small\raise #0.5 \flat} "5)"} }

  <c e g bes>1-\markup { \super "7" }

  <c e gis bes>1-\markup { \super {"7(" {\small\raise #0.5 \sharp} "5)"} }

  <c f g bes>1-\markup { \super {"7(sus4)"} }

  <c e g a d'>1-\markup { \super "6/9" }

  <c e g bes des'>1-\markup { \super {"7(" {\small\raise #0.5 \flat} "9)"} }

  <c f g bes d'>1-\markup { \super {"9(sus4)"} }

  <c e g bes d'>1-\markup { \super "9" }

  <c e g b d'>1-\markup { \super "maj9" }

  <c e gis bes d'>1-\markup { \super "9+" }

  <c e g bes d' fis'>1-\markup { \super "9#11" }

  <c e g bes d' f'>1-\markup { \super "11" }

  <c e g bes d' a'>1-\markup { \super "13" }

  <c e g bes d' fis' a'>1-\markup { \super {"13(" {\small\raise #0.5 \sharp} "11)"} }

  <c e g a d'>1-\markup { \super "6(add9)" }

}

% Convert music to list and prepend to existing exceptions.

chExceptions = #( append

                  ( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)

Hi everyone,

I've recently started using lilypond and I like it very much but I find that the software has sometimes complex solutions to simple problems.

I want to display the chord notation "Am (add4)"
In chord mode I have tried
a:m.4 -> causes an error
a:m4 -> display a4 sus4 b3

Could somebody help me please ?

Best regards.
