Re: How can I change the ChordNames font?

[PabloZum]

Thank you, Kieren.

 

I'm actually using OooLilyPonder on OpenOffice, so I had to adapt the code you sent me to get a working result:

<<
 \new ChordNames {
   \override ChordName #'font-name = #"Times"
   \set chordChanges = ##t
     \chordmode { a1:9- c:m7 }

}

 \new Voice = "one" { \autoBeamOff
   \relative c' {
      \key c \major \time 4/4
 a2 b c d }

}

>>

 

However, after some simulations with my font ("Cifrado"), I don't think I'll get very far, as LilyPond's preset chord name extensions ("m7", "7/add13") are too cumbersome to try and create a new font by substituting other characters for the existing ones.

 

Is there a command to change the way the chord extensions behave, by allowing virtually *any character* to be placed just after the note name, say, "C7&@" or "Gm6!P" or whatever? Or would this involve tweaking with the sourcecode?
