Re: Text above Chord

[Lukas Rytz]

I also tried along those lines.

Maybe something like this works, can the extra staff be

hidden? (I'm still a very beginner)

\version "2.18.0"

<<

  s1^"text"

  \new ChordNames \chordmode { c1:7 }

  c''1

>>

My first idea was

\version "2.18.0"

\new ChordNames \with { \consists "Text_engraver" }

\chordmode { c1:7 ^"text" }

c''1

but the text is not printed because of

error: unrecognized string, not in text script or \lyricmode

\chordmode { c1 :7 ^"text

" }

I don’t know how to fix that…

Hello

The example below prints "text" below the chord.
How can I print the text above the chord?

Thanks!

I am not saying that this is a good idea.  No, sir.  But if a textscript
from a staff is supposed to move above a chord name, the chord name
needs to be an element of the staff, too.

You'll probably need to play around quite a bit with the
outer-staff-priority of a number of objects (like giving text scripts a
much larger one and increasing that of the chord names until they move
outside of slurs, fingerings, and similar folderol).

And of course, your chord names will not be in one line, but placed at a
height where they will fit.
