In German songbooks chordnames are only displayed if they have changed. Lilypond shows chordnames at the beginning of a new line even if the chordname has not changed. Is it possible to change this behaviour?

  • I didn't get the problem you're facing. I constructed a MWE here and the chord names are only displayed when there's a change. Anyway, I suspect the solution has to do with the break-visibility property.

I just have finished my document by typesetting using "lualatex". Up to now I did not find another solution to my problem by hiding some chords manually by using \once \override ChordNames.ChordName.color = #white.

Hope to find another solution, soon.

  • You can use \omit ChordName instead of that override (at least in 2.19). But you're right, the default behavior for \set chordChanges = ##t is to repeat the chord at the beginning of a new line.
