I learned couple of further LilyPond tricks:
- To group staves, just place << >> around the staves:
<< \new Staff { music A } \new Staff { music B } >> - To print chord names over the notes, add \chords { chords } to the score. The chord symbols, like notes and rests, have to include durations. For instance, aes1 in the example below corresponds to A♭ that lasts as long as semibreve. The chord names can be further modified in the following way: f1:m = Fm, ees1:7 = E♭7, c1:9- = C7/♭9 and so on.
- What to do if a chord lasts longer than one bar but you want to show it only when the chord changes? Use \set chordChanges = ##t.
I chose Festive Minor as an example. The theme starts as a wonderful call-and-response of two instruments. It is written in F minor (I suppose the pun was intended) but of course you always can transpose it. Note that each staff is a self-sufficient bit of music, which can be modified (e.g. transposed) independently.
