Newbee question:
I was doing a simple lead sheet with repeats and alternatives and had
trouble with the chordnames being above the alternative ending brackets
rather than between the brackets and the staff, which is the usual way
of doing lead sheets.
I got some help which lead me to a solution to this problem posted in
Feb., and after playing got part of it working:
\score {
\notes <<
\context ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\harmonies
}
\context Staff = one \melody
\set verticalExtent = #' (-1 . 3.5)
\set minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-1 . 1)
>>
\paper{
% \translator {
% \StaffContext
% VoltaBracket \override #'padding = #3 %pts
% }
The part that is flagged out is an exact quote from the solution
posting, but the translator escape is not recognized by lilypond in my
case. What should I do to get the VoltaBracket padding modification to
work? Translators are completely beyond my newbee experience.
Thanks, John Sellers, fiddle player, violinist, and Former Smalltalker
