Re: Parenthesizing chord names

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi all,

This may be the easiest solution?

\version "2.12.2"

#(define (left-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass  
inversion context)
(markup #:line ("( " (ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion  
context))))

#(define (right-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass  
inversion context)
(markup #:line ((ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion  
context) " )")))

LPC = { \set chordNameFunction = #left-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord- 
names }
RPC = { \set chordNameFunction = #right-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord- 
names }
NPC = { \unset chordNameFunction }

chordset = \chordmode
{
  c1:7 g1:7
  \LPC a1:7 \NPC f1:7
  c1:7 \RPC g1:7 \NPC
  c1:7 g1:7
}

\score
{
  \new ChordNames \chordset
}

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
