Here’s my suggestion:

By default, every chord entered is printed; this behavior can be modified so that chord names are printed only at the start of lines and when the chord changes.

If that’s OK with you guys, I’ll edit the LSR and it’ll appear in the manuals with the next makelsr round and the next unstable release.

HI there,

I read at "2.7.2 Displaying Chords" in the docs: "Chord names can be
displayed only at the start of lines and when the chord changes."

This is a little bit misleading. By default, each chord in the content is
printed by Lilypond. The documentation is trying to point out that this
behaviour can be overridden, but this is not apparent to new readers of the
documentation.

Could this sentence in the documentation be clarified to something like
this: "By default, each chord in the content is printed. This behaviour
can be overridden using the chordChanges setting, as shown below."

Kind regards,

-Ben
