Re: Custom Markup Command

[Leo Correia de Verdier]

You know there is a better way of writing chords, right?

Anyway, I think this does what you want:

\version "2.19.82"
 
#(define-markup-command (formatchord layout props text)
   (markup?)
   (interpret-markup layout props
     #{
        \markup {
        \fontsize #-1
        \override #'(font-name . "Georgia Bold")
        #text }
     #}))

chord = ^\markup \formatchord \etc
 
\relative c' {
    c4 \chord "Am" d e f
}
