Do you want users to be able to write out any _chord_ (which is a collection of
notes), or any _chord name_ (which is a description for a collection of
notes)?
> Are chord names unique for a collection of notes,
or can there be multiple chord names for one collection of
notes?
I want to be able to write out any chord *name*. I'm in
the early stages of writing a book in two versions, one in English and one in
Brazilian Portuguese. The Brazilian chord naming standard is different from both
the European and the American ones, and is not supported in LilyPond's
current version; neither is the American jazz chord naming standard, with
stacked modifiers.
I'm currently trying out an idea given by Mats
Bengtsson in the users forum, which is to write out the chord names as an
additional set of timed lyrics above the score. It's easy to do
and it works fine, except that the transposing function is
lost.
All the same, I'd like to try and learn how to write
sourcecode for LilyPond. Is there a manual or a tutorial? I've looked around but
just found a tutorial & manual for users, not for
developers.
