Hi,
in the past I used to create chord symbols as plain text by just placing a
Lyrics context above the staff used with an own font.
I don't like the way LP handles chordsymbols right now, nor do I like the font
it uses.
The only thing I was missing in my way was the possibility to transpose the
chord symbols. Now the thread started by Carl Sorensen some time ago made me
get into scheme and write a function which makes this possible.

Well, I finally finished my function and wanted to share it here in case
someone might find it useful. Thanks to Carl for all the great help.
A very impressive piece of work, with great looking output. Thanks for
sharing the font as well.
If one's needs are less elaborate, one can get a similar overall look
for normal chords with
\layout {
\context {
\ChordNames
\override ChordName #'font-family = #'roman
}
