Thanks! I can post the code for that if you're interested, I just can't promise I'll be able to do that tonight. And it involves the (fantastic) LilyJazz package which was created by Thorsten Hämmerle some time ago. If can get a hold of that, and put it together with Kieren's suggestions, that's basically it - the rest is routine work ...
As for the 8 - this is actually a percent repeat counter that simply ticks off every n-th repeat for easier readability. You're right - I should set the "jazz-font" for it also. It's not a big deal, too ... The chords usually *are* above the staff lines - like here: The chords of my first posting were from a solo passage (I sometimes engrave the solo passages separately for easier overview during soloing), and I prefer solo changes to be placed within the staff for compactness as well as clarity.
