True, I intentionally showed LilyPond's standard chordname
formatting.

I customize the look of my chord symbols with my personalized
version of Robert Schmaus' work:

% JAZZ CHORDS
% (based upon pop-chords.ly by James L. Hammons)
%
% v3.1

Robert's work does a good job of managing font sizes of
accidentals and other symbols, uses a lowercase 'm' for minor,
all that stuff.  And when it doesn't do what you want, it's easy
to modify.  I agree with other comments that the fact that
LilyJAZZText is a "small caps" font makes it unsuitable for
chordnames.  Using the lilyjazzchord font allows me to retain my
prefered lower case styling of "min", "dim" "aug", "add", "sus",
etc.

Thanks for managing the feedback and for fixing problems.  Is
there a URL?  A resolution to issue 3096 would be a welcome next
step.  Marc Hohl's workaround, jazzTempoMarkup, looks very nice,
but complicates rehearsal marks that occur at the same point as
tempo indications.
