Subject: Multi-line chord modifiers

Hello,

I am looking for a way to print chord modifiers in separate lines. For example, I have the chord AMaj7(6)(9). What I want is to print the symbol "A", followed by vertically aligned:

Maj7

6

9

I can't find a property by which I can customize the chord alteration separator to be at least a line break. Can this be done?

Thanks in advance!

Here is one way to do it.  You will likely want to tweak the layout of the symbols, but this is the basic idea.

You will need to add such a chord exception definition for each such "stacked" chord.  There is not currently a way to to this en masse.

\version "2.19.15"

myChordExceptions = {
    <c e g a b d'>1-\markup { \small "Maj" \raise #0.7 { \normalsize 7 } \raise #3 { \teeny \center-column { \lower #1.25 { " 6" } " 9" } } }
}
chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions myChordExceptions #t) ignatzekExceptions)

myChordSequence = \chordmode {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
  c1:maj7.6.9
}

myMelody = \relative c' {
  e8 g a b d2
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new ChordNames \myChordSequence
    \new Staff {
      \myMelody
    }
  >>
}

HTH,
