have been creating some lead sheets in
the style of the "Real Book", using
the \chords{} syntax.  However,
I do not like the way the default
notates "major 7 chords", that is,
a major triad with a major seventh.

The default is to use a "triangle"
to notate such a chord (shown below
in my example" but I much prefer
the way the Real Book notates
such chords, by writing out
"maj7".

How can I get the \chords {} syntax
to notate "major 7 chords as
I prefer, using the notation
"maj7" ?

Thank you for your help.


\score {

  <<
  \chords { bf1:maj7 }
  \new Staff = "mel"
  {
    \time 4/4
    \clef "treble"
    c''1

  }

}
