Re: number of chords

I'm not disagreeing with your logic on jazz chord notation. I'm sure that 
traditionally it would
be the right system, and perhaps we could highlight the "proper" chords in the 
documentation. I'm
merely saying Lilypond should accomodate those who want strange chord symbols 
and other weird
things. After all, it is a typesetting program, not a bandleader.
