There is also the pop-chords.ly file that can be used for chord names and I am working on modifying the same file to follow the Roemer chord name conventions which I will make available when done.

Have you finished the Brandt Roemer conventions or is it still a wip?

 It appears that the OP would like Real Book style chord names; the pop-chords.ly file is easily modified.  It may be in the Lilypond snippet repository.  If not I can send a copy to the OP.

I am the OP <grin>. In fact I have both a "C" Edition Ultimate Jazz Fakebook published by Hal Leonard 1988/

this is a typeset book and was good for gigs.

 

I also have a "Real" book which was given to me. Don't like the font but the chord changes are OK.

respect…
