RE: How can I make chord symbols part of \markup or similar?

[James Lowe]

Neil,

Thanks, I did baulk at that answer slightly as I've never really delved into 
the Internals reference before...however after playing around with simple music 
properties on other functions based on the learning manual I think I can see 
how to do this.

Give a man fish and all that. ;)

have fun

James

If you take a look at the Internals Reference entry for ChordName,
you'll see why it looks different from a normal markup (hint:
font-size and font-family).  Using this information, you can tweak
your markup so it looks the same as a chord name.
