Re: Dash instead of 'm' for minor chords

[Thibaut Chevalier]

Thanks, it works great !
I personnally prefer the minus sign which is a little shorter.  

However, i had to write this complicated markup to obtain a correct "7 / b5" for semi-diminished chords (instead of the dashed circle).

<c ees ges bes>-    \markup { "-" \super {7/ \hspace #0.2 \teeny
{\raise #0.3 \flat} 5} }    % C dashed circle -> C-7/5b

It seems that the \flat inside the \super does not behave like the rest
of the text, and is bigger and to low than the usual superscript text, but I could not figure why, reading the Overview of Markup
commands. Has anyone a clue ?
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond/Overview-of-text-markup-commands.html#Overview-of-text-markup-commands
).

I use the same system as Shamus, but I use the dash simbol instad the
minus symbol, because I find it to be a bit more polite. So I have then:

jazzyChordsMusic =
{
   <c ees g>1-\markup {#(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x2013))} % Cm -> C-
   % and so on...
}

I have jazzyChordsMusic and jazzyChordsAdd in a separate " jazzchords.ly"
file, so everytime I want my custom chord names (well, always :) ), I just
include that file.

Greetings,

Vincent
