[Lilypond-auto] [LilyIssues-auto] [testlilyissues:issues] #5032 Using \w

Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 00:25:52 +0000

Some general findings testing with:

\displayLilyMusic
<<
   \chords  { c1 }
   \chords { d }
>>

\displayLilyMusic
<<
   \lyrics { foo1 }
   \lyrics { bar }
>>

\displayLilyMusic
<<
   \drums { hh1 }
   \drums { bd }
>>

\displayLilyMusic
<<
   \figures { <6> }
   \figures { <7> }
>>

returning:

<< \new ChordNames { < c' e' g' >1 } \new ChordNames { < d' fis' a' >1 } >>

<< \lyrics { foo } \lyrics { bar } >>

<< \drums { hihat1 } \drums { bassdrum1 } >>

<< \figures { < 6 >1 } \figures { < 7 >1 } >>

This looks ok but inconsistent to me.

In NR I've found:
"\chords { … } is a shortcut notation for \new ChordNames { \chordmode { … } }"
"\figures{ … } is a shortcut notation for \new FiguredBass { \figuremode { … } }"
and
"The simplest way to enter percussion notes is to use the \drums command, which creates the correct context and entry mode for percussion"

Is there any reason for displayLilyMusic returning different?
\lyrics isn't explained at all, afaik.

I'd suggest to explain \drums at the lines of \chords and \figures.
\lyrics should be deprecated or documented properly as already said on Rietveld.

Ofcourse this is beyond this issue, worth another ticket?

If the \chords command is used to set the input mode (rather than the more usual \chordmode command - see NR 5.4.1) context amendments specified within a \with command must be placed immediately after \chords so that the context created implicitly by the \chords command is modified. The same applies to other short-hands for creating contexts such as \drums, \figures, etc. This should be documented.

(Thanks to Thomas Morley (Harm) for the explanation.)
