A define-music-function would be better than tags, then the whole library
would be inside a function where you just specify the chord name as a string
parameter then have a giant IF statement to generate the named chord, (root
and duration would also be function parameters).

Like this:

\myChordLibrary c, "Maj7_2", 4

The above would generate a chord with a transpose root of c, with the
inversion of "Maj7_2" (version 2 of a maj7 chord), for a quarter note
duration.

Do you know how to use define-music-function (I dont)?  Would this be a hard
function to write?

Thanks
Rick
