Hi, Nathan:

Thank you for your solution code.

Hello,

This section of the docs may help you:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/chord-mode#extended-and-altered-chords

I realize that the 3s are unnecessary. You could just write c1:5.9 and c1:5.2 and the result will be the same.

To see the chords that LilyPond generates from chordmode, you can replace \new ChordNames \chordmode { ... } with \new Staff \chordmode { ... }.

Regards,

Nathan
