RE: Chord Symbols below Volta bracket

[Scott Ainsworth]

I finally found a way to get the chord names below the volta bracket.  I
reduced the height of the staff and increased the volta padding so the
volta number would clear the chords.  Thry something like this:

    . . . Lots of stuff omitted
    \context Staff = melody <
        \property Staff . verticalExtent = #'(-4 . 3.5)
        \property Staff . minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-1 . 1)
    . . . Lots more stuff omitted
    \paper {
        \translator {
            \StaffContext
            VoltaBracket \override #'padding       = #3  %pts
        }
    }

Note that 3.5 is the staff height you need to play with.

Good luck!

Subject: Chord Symbols below Volta bracket


Hi, 

I want to typeset a song with alternative volta endings and chords (lily
1.4.9). How can I get the Chord symbols below the volta bracket? I tried
to move the Volta_engraver to ScoreContext, but the result is not very
nice.

Btw. is it possible to get the following output for lyrics in some
version:
                   { repeat text 1 ending 1          }
text before repeat {                                 } text after repeat
                   { repeat text 2          ending 2 }
(no blank line and text before and after repeat are in the middle.
Repeat is sourrounded by braces)

On the other hand I want to set some text above the chord symbols
(namely "Refrain" and "Strophe" in italic). How could I achieve that?
f^"Refrain" is still below the chords.

Tobias

P.S.: If someone has a patch by hand to get german-chords.ly fully
running (I get
with deutsch.ly the nice Text output Faccidentals-1m instead of F#m),
please send it to me personally. If not I'll have to wait until
September, when I'll be home and can better upgrade.
