Having peered at the LilyPond docs I think that LilyPond is making a
distinction here which we will have to observe see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Common-notation-for-fretted-strings#String-number-indications

for example.
I propose to add a field to the chord structure gboolean chordize;
which we can set TRUE as needed, and the exportlilypond will respond by
surrounding the chord with < > even if there is only one note. It will
not be necessary to set chordize if there are more than one note (hence
the name, rather than using a boolean is_chord, which you would then
expect to be set whenever the number of notes is greater than one).
