Well, you have described "the scripter" modifying the script to test the
chords of their choice, which doesn't require you to do anything it
would seem.
Perhaps you are thinking of a further meta level - e.g. a command to
append to the init.scm. This would mean you could write the script to
append additional definitions into init.scm, e.g. it would read off the
notes in a chord at the cursor and ask the user for a name and place a
definition in init.scm. *However* it seems too elaborate - too much
meta-meta-meta.

What about the script using a file

chords.denemo

in which "the scripter" places the chords they want with a
DenemoDirective (tag "ChordNames", display=name of chord) on each?
So the script picks up chords and names from there, and then proceeds
with the game (so it could open, extract information and then d-New to
start the game)
