Hi, Francois,

it actually arrived - you can check this in the mailing list archives.

I would like to know if there is a way (i search quite a while
whithout success) to write chords according to Riemann's Function
Theory.

AFAIK, no. But there are workarounds like using custom markups as lyrics, or probably even tweaking a ChordNames context to look like this. But you'll have to make the analysis yourself.

In principle, math would do the trick,

AFAIK, no. You'd have to specify when the sensation of tonality changes for the listener; in particular, you need to know where and how long to put parentheses around the chord designators. It's not just giving 24 chords (in minor and major) a symbol, and shift this assignment when everything is transposed.


Cheers,
Alexander
