Re: Pop-chords.ly

[David Stocker]

Hi Keith,

Save a copy of the file "pop-chords.ly" in the same directory that you want to use it. Alternatively, you can put a copy of the file into your LilyPond installation in .../usr/share/lilypond/current/ly (Linux, similar on Windows). After that, just do \include "pop-chords.ly" in the top of the file you want to use it in.

Also, you can have a look at some of the chord suffixes I've been fooling around with. Just run LilyPond on the file to see what the suffixes look like by themselves. I'm working on how to incorporate this into a file like "pop-chords.ly" and even make an expanded set of chord modifiers to use in \chordmode.

Best regards,

David

David,

I saw your post regarding pop-chords.  I tried copying the file and running it through LilyPond, but I don't get any PDF file created.  The only messages that shows in the log file are:

# -*-compilation-*-
Processing `C:/LilyPond Data/Pop-chords-test.ly'
Parsing...

Do you have an example of using pop-chords.ly?  I'm working on an arrangement which has lots of altered chords and I would like to see if I can use "jazz nomenclature" rather than the LilyPond default.

Thanks,

Keith Luke
