Re: [Denemo-devel] insert chord symbols?

[Ludo Beckers]

Or maybe one for basic triads and one for further extensions? (and one for /B --> slash bass note)?
Personally I'd be for an interpretor that translates whatever common nomenclature you use into Lilypond syntax.
Like "Bbm7b5" and have denemo translate it.

I'm not a fan btw of the triangle used in Denemo.
The syntax bes:maj7 is really not correct here anyway, since a triangle without a following 7 is free to be interpreted as Bbmaj7 or Bbmaj6.

I haven't come across any examples of Bbmaj6, Bb6 and Bbm6 at all yet (probably I overlooked; didn't check your earlier link 100% completely yet).
Another thing I miss is a repeat symbol like % (with dots instead of ° of course) which I'm used to adding because it helps the visual picture when improvising.

Off topic - I can't find any example in Lilypond on how to put a half-diminished chord-symbol (or Gm7b5 as text) in the lead-sheet.

I am glad you brought this up. I was wondering how the interface should be for people who don't know the lilpond syntax. Would it be two dropdowns menus one for root note the other being chord quality? Something like this can help prevent people from creating score that don't render in lilypond.
