Hi all, thanks a lot for your reply. I think I understand now. Inside the \improvisationOn section I don't have to reuse the real chord name. A placeholder might be sufficient? So instead of writing g1:sus I can just use g1. All I want in the end is to have the chord name to appear above the stave only. Am I on the right track?
Thanks again. Lilypond is a great tool!
