You're right -- that might be a reason to use Lilypond. However, some of
the other approaches do the same, only with much less hassle. I tried out
chordpack (http://mujweb.cz/www/danielpolansky/chordpack/) which does
transposition as well. GuitarTeX
(http://guitartex.sourceforge.net/en/guitartex/book1.html) seems ok as
well, but I haven't tried it out yet.
