hello together,

first of all i want to thank you for your great work.
please excuse my very bad school-english.
i'm a jazz-student from stuttgart, germany

i think i have found a few bugs. i'm using lilypond 2.2.0 since a few
weeks and i'm working on windows xp, in future probably fedora.

no to the point:

-i'm missing th "7" in the chordsymbol "halfdiminished-7" like in "diminished-7". i putted it by hand in the "chord-modifiers-init.ly", now for me well, but maybe good for everyone.
example:
\version "2.2"
\score{
<<
\new ChordNames
\chords {
c2:m7.5-
c:dim7
   }
\context staff
\notes{
\relative c''{
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\clef violin
c''1 }}
>>
\paper{raggedright = ##t}
}

-for me as jazzmusician it would be nice if there would be a chordsymol for "altered", looking like \markup( "C" \super "alt.") and sounding like: 1 3 5+ 7- 9- 9+ 11+. the two 9s are not possibel to show because only the last ist shown when typing in the chorname, and if it shows all the chord is to large for the leadsheet. even Chordsymbol for htgt=(germanh)halbton-ganzton would be nice.

-in jazz-notation, especially bigband, often a "fall" is used tell the musician to let fall the note(horns and strings), al little bit like a glissando downwards. the deepest note is not defined, so the sign looks loke a slur, starting at the notehead moving down ending between the lines, not at a rest or note. the same thing upwards is also sometimes used.


-there are missing barlines when \set Score.skipBars = ##t is combined with repeat "percent".
example:
\version "2.2"
\score{
\notes{
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\clef violin
\relative c''{
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
R1*2 \repeat "percent" 4 {c1~c}\break
\set Score.skipBars = ##f
R1*2 \repeat "percent" 4 {c1~c}
}
}
\paper{raggedright = ##t}
}

-when using \repeat "volta" a tie from end of box 1. should have context to the start of the repeat and not to box 2.

-cresc. \< stops midi-output for the rest of the piece.
example:
\version "2.2"
\score{
\notes{
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\clef violin
\relative c''{
c4 e c4 e
c4\< e c4 e\!
}}
\midi{}
\paper{raggedright = ##t}
}

-in the 2.2 docu in chapter 3.13.1 "chord mode" you say that "since an unaltered 11 does not sound good when combined with an unaltered 13..." in a major-context. the point is not the 11 combined with the 13(major third sounds good), but 11 combined with 3, one oktave lower. its the the b9 sound what sounds evil. so in minor there is no probelm, 11 with b3 gets a major 9, with 13 or not.

-I'm a newbe so its my fault, but i had to search long until i found how to change the chordname size(fontsize was found imediately, but the syntax was the problem), \override ChordName #'font-size =#'+3 in the \new ChordNames layer. for jazzmusician(like me) its a main point in the leadsheet. maybe you could take it in the main docu.




i hope this report is useful for you and i would be glad if you reply.

greetings,

johannes schöpfer
