I filled a chord grid in LilyPond which you can see the output here. I want to add some arrows to write a syncope.
I thought about adding slurs:
grille = \chordmode {
\bar "[|:"
d1(
g1)
...
But it doesn't modify anything.
Here is the code:
% LilyBin
\version "2.19.55"
#(set-global-staff-size 18)
% si cette valeur change modifier la valeur de rlineto ci-dessous
\paper {
page-breaking = #ly:page-turn-breaking
}
\header {
tagline = ##f
composer = "The Cure"
title = "Friday I'm in Love"
}
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "a4")
page-count = #1 % forçage du nombre de pages
page-breaking = #ly:page-turn-breaking
}

\once \override Staff.StaffSymbol.stencil =
$(lambda (grob)

I'm new to Lilypond myself, but I was able to get the arrow by creating a custom shape in the markup of a measure /mark.
See this example (based on your original output): http://lilybin.com/k7kykq/142
Please forgive the fact that I hard-coded the shape. I don't yet know of an easier way of drawing it.
