Hello Amelie,

I didn’t know this notation system. Maybe Jianpu could be a good starting point?

% Scheme function(s): "jianpu include file"

% The definitions needed to produce jianpu scores.

% From https://github.com/nybbs2003/lilypond-Jianpu

\include "jianpu10a.ly"

I attach the same score, regular and Jianpu, in both Lily and PDF.

Hi all,

in 2015 we had a discussion on this list if and how Lilypond should
support output of chord changes in the (relative-root) Nashville Number
System. A few hacks have been proposed for the harmonic component of
this type of notation, however, noone dared tackle the rhythmic markings.

I'm now in the unfortunate position of having to prepare a large number
of charts in Nashville notation this year and finding myself without a
software to properly get the job done. As far as I know, there is only
one app that properly supports the system (https://www.1chartapp.com/)
and it's available for iOS only.

This email is mainly to gauge the amount of need for proper chord chart
support within Lilypond, and also the readiness for devising solutions
toward that end. So, if you're interested, I'd love to hear from you.

Cheers,

Amy
