Re: Chord Name Exceptions

[Gabriel Borin]

Thank you, Aaron

This code worked, thanks...

\version "2.22.0"

customChordNames = {
   <c ees ges bes>
    -\markup \concat { m \super { 7 ( \flat 5 ) } }
}
customChordNameExceptions = #(append
  (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
   customChordNames
   #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
   d:m7.5-
   \set chordNameExceptions =
     #customChordNameExceptions
   d:m7.5-
}

I should have posted what I was trying to do. My mistake. It was pretty similar. I don´t know if the position where the customChordNames in the document matters. Something I missed.

Anyway, thanks again. Much appreciated.

Sincerely,

Gabriel Borin

It is hard to say what is going wrong without an example of what you
specifically tried.  Here is an example that specifically works with
m7(b5) that you can compare and contrast with:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

customChordNames = {
   <c ees ges bes>
    -\markup \concat { m \super { 7 ( \flat 5 ) } }
}
customChordNameExceptions = #(append
  (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
   customChordNames
   #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
   d:m7.5-
   \set chordNameExceptions =
     #customChordNameExceptions
   d:m7.5-
}
%%%%

While requiring a little bit more logic, it is possible to use
\chordmode so you do not have to type out <c ees ges bes>:

%%%%
\version "2.22.0"

customChordNamesUsingChordMode = {
   \chordmode { c:m7.5- }
    -\markup \concat { m \super { 7 ( \flat 5 ) } }
}
customChordNameExceptionsUsingChordMode = #(append
  (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
   (make-sequential-music
    (extract-typed-music
     customChordNamesUsingChordMode
     'event-chord))
   #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
   d:m7.5-
   \set chordNameExceptions =
     #customChordNameExceptionsUsingChordMode
   d:m7.5-
}
%%%%
