Hi Matthew, >> Can you really feed some notes to Lilypond and it tells you the name of the >> chord? A kind of reverse chord finder? I have not found in the manual. > > I thought that was the point under discussion.

The difference between _labelling_ a chord and _analyzing_ a chord is immense, especially in terms of the programming/processing required. (Of course those functions overlap in the hands of an arranger/engraver…) > If that's not what was being discussed, I'd better go back to lurking. Don’t! It’s a good discussion (IMO).
