I produce both lead sheets with chords and lyrics and melody lineswith chords 
for dance music. The original material is often hand engravedand hard to read 
or in the wrong key -- hence the re-engraving.
One problem that I'm currently encountering is dealing with optionalchords. 
(The chord letters above the staff for guitar players.) These are generally 
shown in either parentheses or square brackets. Is therea way to handle several 
arbitrary chord names  differently on a score?By this I mean, for example, just 
this D, but not the others.
I'd be happy to have brackets, parentheses, a different colour or evenitalic 
instead of a regular font -- just some way to show that *this* chordis an 
exception. And it may not be possible, though I'd be surprised.I couldn't find 
it in the documentation, though. But I may not have usedthe correct search 
terms.
Thanks,
-Don
