Re: Lower-case base note chord notation

[Jakob Pedersen]

    Thank you very much!
    
    This works for the lower-case letters! I'm seeing D/f♯ etc.
    
    I should probably have mentioned that I'm using German note names
    for input, making it impossible to use the bes
    notation. My apologies.
    
    Here is a minimal example including your fix.

    This produces H♭ and E♭/h♭ as chords, rather than B♭ and E♭/b♭.
    
    Adding \semiGermanChords as a fix for
    the upper-case letters overrides the layout code, as I'm sure you
    are aware.
    
    Can the code be adapted to use accidentals in both upper-case chord
    names, like E♭, and also use accidentals in lower-case bass notes,
    like E♭/f♯ etc.?
    
    Best wishes,
    Jakob

Greetings!

Is it possible to define a chord-naming scheme with upper-case chord names in semi-german, but bass notes similar to the default style but lower-case.

This would result in something like:

B♭ E♭/b♭ F/b♭ C/e D/f♯

This is the standard scheme used in Danish notation, btw.

I looked at the chord names alternatives snippet, but it's much too complicated for me to figure out, I'm afraid.

Try this:

\version "2.24.1"

\layout {
  \set ChordNames.chordNoteNamer = #(lambda (p _) (note-name->markup p #t))
}

\chords { bes ees/bes f/bes c/e d/fis }
