Rob,

This allows you to have the correct layout except that the staff and tab are flipped. It’s a start, eh?

Subject: novice questions - an advice appreciated!

I'm trying to create something like this:
Chord names (not grids) above the first staff
One normal staff
One guitar tab staff underneath it (same melody as in staff above)
Lyrics underneath the guitar tab
Chord grids printed just once at bottom
I would also like to define my own chord voicings with custom names - that is, I don't want to give an alternative voicing for E, but instead make up a new name like EBlah, and have EBlah appear in the chart and in the chord grid. I might have multiple voicings that are all really E so it doesn't work to just re-use E.

I can find bits and pieces of this, but I can't make anything really work. Here's my work-in-progress (using frescobaldi):

\version "2.18.2"
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"

chordNames = \chordmode { c1:m7 ees1:maj7 }
melody = \relative c' { c2 f4 bes,4 ees aes, des ges, }
verse = \lyricmode { I met a fair young maiden }

\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \chordNames
\new FretBoards \chordNames
\new Staff \melody
\addlyrics \verse
\new TabStaff \melody
>>
}
