Hi,
Jazzchords with Lilypond could be improved, and the main dev is willing
to improve it, but he can use some help if I understand his reply right.
I know there are some Jazz experts on the list (Atte for example (?)),
maybe some expert people can help here.
Would be great if Lilypond would become better and better, also for
Jazz/pop music.
Please subscribe to the lilypond user mailinglist
Kind regards,
\r

Not at all started. It's still floating around in the back of my head. I'm
flying to England in June, with a long layover in New York City, so I may
try to make it happen then.

I'd welcome people creating documents that describe how chord naming should
work. I think that there is a two-step process:
1) Get the chord naming right (it's currently broken)
2) Make sure we have sufficient flexibility to accommodate anybody's desired
method of displaying chords (I think this is pretty close right now,
although it may need some tweaking).
Thanks,
Carl
