I must disappoint you, I'm a Berlin jazz pianist that just happens to do
some studio work. Since, apart from the classical scene, German-produced
music has only domestic relevance, it's not necessarily where the really
big bucks are.

Well, I'm definitely willing to do my part. It's just that I'm not a
Scheme expert and the last time I was more deeply involved in Lilypond
coding was for the 1.8 version. (I wrote the original Ignatzek – who was
one of my piano teachers, btw – chord naming routine.)

As long as you don't mind me asking questions, especially on
poorly-documented functions, I believe we can get along and get
Nashville chord charts supported in a viable timeframe.

Kind regards,

Amy
