Re: Chord chart layout

[Johannes Schöpfer]

hi,

try this:

<<
        { \repeat unfold 8 {  s1*4 \break  } }
        \new ChordNames \with 
        {
             \override BarLine #'bar-size = #4
             voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
             \consists Bar_engraver
             \consists "Volta_engraver"
        }

        \chordmode
        {
          r4 f1:maj7 ees:maj7 d2:7.9- d2:7 d1:7 
          g:m7 g:m7 bes:m7 ees:7
          a:m7 d:m7 g:m7 c:7
          e2:m7.5- a:7.9- d:m7 g:7 g1:m7 c:7 
          f1:maj7 ees:7 d2:7.9- d:7 d1:7 
          g:m7 g:m7 bes:m7 ees:7 
          a:m7 d:m7 b:m7.5- bes:7 
          a2:m7 d:m7 g:m7 c:7 f2:6 bes:6 g2:m7 c:7 f1:6
        }
