Hi, I am using lilypond to generate scores(with chord names) and chord charts all from the same source. And what a wonderful tool you have created.
The chord chart is simply the score with only the chord names and bar lines visible. And the chord names are shifted down between the bar lines.
I am able to set the size of the BarLine's with bar-extent and the size of the ChordName's with font-size.
My issue is, when I do this the colon for the repeat symbol does not resize. So, I get big bar lines and a tiny colon for the repeat.
Here's my tiny example:
\version "2.14.2"
\score {
\new ChordNames \with {
\override BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-1 . 20)
\override ChordName #'font-size = #20
\override ChordName #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -1)
\consists "Bar_engraver"
}
{
\relative a' {
\chordmode {
\partial 4 s4
\repeat volta 2 { a1 g c a }
}}}}
And, if you are interested, the results of this project can be viewed at:
There are scores, chord charts and lilypond synthesized audio tracks at different tempos for each tune.
The issue described above can be seen at the site given.
thank you for your time,
