I'm not understanding any of these proposals.  :)

If anything happens before GLISS -- and I'm not claiming that it
will -- then we *will* have a duplicate syntax for chords.

We're not making a major change like removing \chordmode until
after GLISS.  I'm willing to consider adding new commands (like
\chord), as long as it's understood that they might _also_ change
after GLISS (so the command might only exist for 6-18 months in
total).
