Hello,



Actually the two chord lines are set up thus...



origchords = \chordmode {

  s8 f4. d:min f/c bes a:min g:min c2.

% ...

}



harmonies = \chordmode {

  \override ChordNames.ChordName #'font-size = #-1

  \origchords

}



harmoniescapothree = \chordmode {

  \set stanza = \markup \normal-text \sans "Capo 3"

  \override ChordNames.ChordName #'font-size = #-1

  \override ChordNames.ChordName #'font-series = #'bold

  \transpose f d {

    \origchords

  }

}



So I can change the capo number (for example) to Capo 5, then change the 
transpose value from (f  d) to (f  c). This probably breaks the MIDI but here 
my target is only the printed score. These are all great points, thanks.



As an aside, I've been using the gmane interface to post these messages and 
replies; sending them through email (at Hotmail) doesn't seem to work (it gives 
me a Delivery Status Notification - Failure.) I tried logging on to the mailing 
list website, and was successful. I even changed some settings. But sending to 
the default address (address@hidden) doesn't work. If I need to post 
this as another topic, please tell me and I will. Thanks in advance.
