Hello,
I would like to skip a given duration in a list of chords. For example, I have notes:
c''2 bes'2 c''1 e''2 d''2 e''1
and want to have chords displayed for these notes:
C (skip a chord for bes) Em C D C
My application, which uses LilyPond for displaying notes, can easily generate this string:
c2 e1:m c2 d2 c1
because it knows duration of the notes. However, it would be more difficult to generate
c1 e1:m c2 d2 c1
because I would have to implement an algorithm which sums durations.
It would be great if it was possible to put a custom text instead of standard chord names. Then, I could write something like this: " "2, or ".."2, "?"2 etc.
The workaround is to repeat the latest chord and set "\set chordChanges = ##t", but then actual chord repeats would be hidden which is not desired.
Any help appreaciated,
greetings and Merry Christmas -- gajatko.
