Re: Chord Names Between Piano Staff Treble and Bass Clefs

Kieren,

Thanks for the solution.  It's exactly what I was trying to do.

Now I have another great LilyPond technique to use with any PianoStaff chord names.

PianoStaff does not, by default, accept ChordNames.

\version "2.13.31"

\score {
 \new PianoStaff <<
   \new Staff \relative a' { a4 b c d }
   \new ChordNames { <a c e>2 <c e g> }
   \new Staff \relative a { \clef bass a4 b c d }
 >>
}

\markup \fill-line { "" }

\score {
 \new PianoStaff <<
   \new Staff \relative a' { a4 b c d }
   \new ChordNames { <a c e>2 <c e g> }
   \new Staff \relative a { \clef bass a4 b c d }
 >>
 \layout { \context { \PianoStaff \accepts ChordNames } }
}

Hope this helps,
Kieren.
