Re: Dominant

[Malte Meyn]

Hello,

you can try to use either the letter D with stroke (Đ, U+0110) or, if 
you want a longer an diagonal stroke, a regular D and a combining long 
solidus overlay from unicode (D̸, U+0044 U+0337):

\version "2.19.6"

\relative c' {
  \repeat unfold 8 { <c e g> <c f a> <d f b> <e g c> }
}
\addlyrics  {
  T S Đ⁷ T
  T S D̸⁷ T
  T S \markup\concat{\char##x110 \char##x2077 } T
  T S \markup\concat{D \char##x337 \char##x2077 } T
  T S \markup\concat{\char##x110 \super 7} T
  T S \markup\concat{D \char##x337 \super 7} T
  T S \markup\concat{Đ \super 7} T
  T S \markup\concat{D̸ \super 7} T
}

The first two bars show the unicode characters in the source code, the 
last two use LilyPond’s \char command (an optically not satisfying 
solution for the overlay IMO).

I have seen both versions of the stroke (the short horizontal one and 
the long diagonal one), use the one you prefer ;)

P.S. \char##x2077 is the superscript 7 (⁷), so you don’t need LilyPond’s 
superscript command if you don’t like it (the placement and font of the 
superscript is different).
