Thanks for having a bash at that.  As a matter of taste, I think I prefer not 
having the font's sharps and flats used in the chord names because they look 
disproportionately large compared to the text, whereas the default accidentals 
look fine to my eyes.  Also, the lack of a lower case "m" in the font has 
confused my horn players so I use "-" instead of "m" in minor chords.
