Re: Three newbie questions

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you use
\set chordRootNamer = #(lambda (x) "-")
you will not get any syntax errors, you don't get any syntax errors but 
you get a somewhat
unexpected output. If you, in addition, set
\set chordNoteNamer = #note-name->markup
the result is somewhat more similar to what you want (by default it 
seems that chordNoteNamer uses
the value of chordRootNamer unless it's explicitly set). However, since 
the modifier is still printed,
you don't really get the result you want, at least not if the chord is 
f:m/es (however, if you
don't care about MIDI output, you could then use the corresponding chord 
without the modifier,
f:/es in the input to get the desired output.
