Re: Chords in LilyPond

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Simon (et al.),

>> added bass note
>> inversions
> I’m under the impression that in chord notation those are actually the same

Definitely not! What if I want a C7 in second inversion over a Db? In 
pseudo-harmonic-analysis code, that would be

   C4/3  / Db

In my compositions (especially musical theatre and concert drama), I use that 
kind of construction all the time — but I end up having to dumb down the chord 
names in my scores, because Lily doesn’t let me put exactly what I want.

Cheers,
Kieren.
