Re: Lilypond & Halfdiminished/Diminished symbols.

[liebrecht]

Sorry I must be more specific, my needs were not stated properly in the 
message although it is implied by "Symbol" and not chord or to create 
notation.

What I need is how to place  the Diminished symbol as text (the 
\emptyset symbol in LaTeX) above the staff for progressions. Similar 
problem would be how to indicate the Classical Inversion symbols above 
the staff. I know how to place normal alphabet letters there, but I 
cannot figure out from the manual how to place some of the common 
Progression symbols or even worse the Classical Inversion symbols, which 
in LaTeX would have been easy with the _ and ^ to the object.

Attached is an example for half diminished which is what I want . Same 
with Diminished and all other known progression symbols and inversions.

It would have been nice if Lilypond would allow LaTeX commands for text 
above or below staff. Would make things really easy.
