Thanks!
I can post the code for that if you're interested, I just can't promise I'll be able to do that tonight. And it involves the (fantastic) LilyJazz package which was created by Thorsten Hämmerle some time ago.
If can get a hold of that, and put it together with Kieren's suggestions, that's basically it - the rest is routine work ...
As for the 8 - this is actually a percent repeat counter that simply ticks off every n-th repeat for easier readability. You're right - I should set the "jazz-font" for it also. It's not a big deal, too ...
The chords usually *are* above the staff lines - like here:
The chords of my first posting were from a solo passage (I sometimes engrave the solo passages separately for easier overview during soloing), and I prefer solo changes to be placed within the staff for compactness as well as clarity.
Best, Robert

This is smashing! Great job.The alignment of the chords, is it possible to push above the staff like traditional chords? The 8, is it part of a multi rest?18. jan. 2016 kl. 11.40 skrev Robert Schmaus <address@hidden>:_______________________________________________--Note beforehand: I'm sending this from a phone, and I can't control if the attached picture is sent inline or not - hope you can see it, otherwise I'll have to resend it later today.--Hi Carl-Henrik,
Fwiw, I write jazz sheets all the time, and I've trimmed Lilypond to produce stuff like this:<image1.PNG>So, Lilypond is quite able to produce those complex chords you mention. This is definitely not out of the box though ... I've put quite some work into it. But I guess it goes along the lines of what Kieren sent you earlier ...The question if it is sensible to go that way is something else.Best, RobertSorry, thought the thread was referenced.
I'm wondering if lilypond is able to notate complex chords, as discussed in the before mentioned thread.Examples as shown:<complex chords.png>Den 17. jan. 2016 kl. 20.18 skrev Thomas Morley <address@hidden>:

Well, what's "this"?
LilyPond exists, yes. There is no common definiton of "JazzChords".
So, no news. ;)
Maybe you may want to be a little more specific?
Cheers,
