I am working on a lead sheet - lyrics, notes, chordnames - but the
lyrics insist
on starting on the second note of the piece. I have done 4 other lead sheets
like this, using the same template, and they all work fine. The only
difference
I can see is this piece has the lyrics starting on the first note which
is also
on the first count of the measure, the other 3 pieces all had the first word
starting on the first note but not on the first beat, rather on beat 2.
I am sure this is something obvious to a more experienced lily user, and
probably a pretty simple error, but I am not seeing it.
Oh, one more question - are A9 and A add9 both the same chord on the guitar?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Chip W
