It’s mostly done, at least for all the chords I use regularly.  There is a 
deviation in that I have not put the extensions/tensions as superscripts to the 
chord because I find that harder to read on the fly.  But I like these 
conventions because no one ever asks me what they mean.  I’d be happy to send 
you the file as it stands.

I use the JazzLILY font which looks a lot like the old Real Book handwritten 
chart.
