Hi Alex,

Thanks for the reply. I tested it, but there is an error still. Maybe you 
can help, as I know too little about how Lilypond has been set up 
internally?

test file:
----------------------------

\version "2.16.2"

\include "pop-chords.ly"

myMusic = {
  f1 g1
}

myChords = {
        \chordmode{ f1:m }
        \chordmode{ g1:7 }
}

\score {
        <<
                \new ChordNames { \myChords }
                \new Staff {
                \key c \minor
                \new Voice {\relative c' \myMusic }
                }
        >>
}

------------------------------

The error I recieve:

D:/Marten/Muziek/Bladmuziek/Lilypond/Flaws and bugs/pop-chords.ly:191:23: 
error: syntax error, unexpected '.', expecting SCM_FUNCTION or 
SCM_IDENTIFIER or SCM_TOKEN
