Re: Bold Maj7 Triangle

[Gregory Hollands]

Thank you

FYI it still needs \set in front, otherwise lilypond throws an error.

Thanks again,

Hello Gregory,

That is indeed possible. The difference is just that \set is used to set context properties during
music. Within the layout block you set context properties by simple assignment,
so you’d do something like

\layout {
  \context {
    \ChordNames
    majorSevenSymbol = \markup\fontsize #-3 \override #'(thickness . 0.2) \triangle ##f
  }
}

(you can also put \Score instead of \ChordNames, but it should not make a
difference, as ChordNames is the only context that uses this property).

Cheers,
Valentin
