Jim,

Good question. Recently, a user (I forget the name...) made some updates to
the LilyJAZZ ensemble by introducing a font specifically designed for
chords, which includes both lower and uppercase letters and shortcuts to the
sharp, flat, etc. symbols. I've added more characters to it as well just to
make it more useable and its nicely integrated into my jazz files. I've
attached some jazz example files. When the chord is a recognized one, then
it should get formatted quite nicely with the lilyjazzchord font, otherwise
it will revert back to the LilyJAZZ font, but the chord list is pretty big.

Regards,
Abraham
