Re: Problem with German Chord Names of moll chords

[Bertalan Fodor (LilyPondTool)]

The note-name->german-markup macro creates lowercase note names from a 
pitch.
This is used as the chordNoteNamer function. The chordNoteNamer is the 
following:
When the chord name contains additional pitches other than the root
(e.g., an added bass note), this function is used to print the
additional pitch.  By default the pitch is printed using
@code{chordRootNamer}. The @code{chordNoteNamer} property can be set
to a specialized function to change this behavior.  For example, the
bass note can be printed in lower case.

For a simple case perhaps you could set
chordRootName = #note-name->german-markup
to make the root note lowercase. But that would render lowercase all the 
chords, including major ones.

ps It's better to keep the discussion on lilypond-user, as other may 
have smarter thought than I do
