Thank you for your help.
To answer your question, when I say "jazz font" I am making a reference to other notation program's inclusion of a particular font that resembles hand-written scores. I would like for my scores to have this hand-written look, if possible. But your question raises another one for me - I do not know what feta fonts are in Lilypond, nor how to use them. Can you point me to a resource where I can learn about them? Maybe what I'm looking for is there.
Thank you,
Josh

I am new to Lilypond, and I am learning how to properly input information. Currently, I am using the standard Just Friends to practice with. From looking at other people's input files, I have been able to come up with the following partial lead sheet score:
Here are my questions:
First, my chords are not aligning up with the beginning of the bar that they apply to in the pdf output. How can I make sure that the chords fall at the beginning of the measure?
That is because your music starts with a quarter note partial, and your chords with a semibreve. If you look at the log file you should see something like:
warning: barcheck failed at: 1/4
s2
| c1:maj7 | s1 | a1:m5-.7 | d1:9- |
Fix that and the alignment is fine.Second, I would like for my chart to be 4 bars per line, "Real Book" style. Is there a simple way that I can tell Lilypond to use 4 bars per line, and still keep a reasonable look to the score?
Insert \break where you want a new line.Finally, is there a jazz font I can use?
Don't know, what is a jazz font? Do you need symbols not included in Lilyponds Feta fonts?
