Editing Circle of Fifths

There is no problem, just a solution ;-)<br />
This is just a gimmick: a circle of fifths drawn with Lilypond.<br />
Usage:<br />
<code>\QuiZi</code><br />
or if you want to change size and position:<br />
<code>\markup \move-and-scale \QuiZi #0.8 #40</code>

%% draw a circle of fifths with Lilypond
%% in the style like here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Quintenzirkeldeluxe.png
%% you can use more Scheme if you like
%% e.g. drawing the ticker lines with whitening cirle as one graph
%% needs no include files

%% creating the score snippets
%% we remove some items not needed
