Thank you, Dominic. I'm new here and I hadn't thought of that.
I'll make a pdf with my chord-name font and its various combinations. Who
should I send it to?

I'm rather dissatisfied with the way LilyPond prints chord names. After trying
all the ideas some people here have generously given me to try and use my own
chord-name font, I've come to the conclusion that the only practical way to
achieve what I want is by changing the sourcecode to fit my own
Thank you, Kieren.
I'm actually using OooLilyPonder on OpenOffice, so I had to adapt the code you
sent me to get a working result:
<<
\new ChordNames {
\override ChordName #'font-name = #"Times"
\set chordChanges = ##t
\chordmode { a1:9- c:m7 }
}
\new Voice = "one" { \autoBeamOff
I have tested, to the best of my abilities, the various solutions offered here
to the problem of using my jazz-chord-names font "Cifrado" instead of the
default LilyPond font. I am not completely satisfied by any of them.
But I have just thought that I can use the chord-name-entry that is built
Thanks, Tao, but that's the Chord Name Chart I just mentioned. A longer chart
is here:

However, this chart is misleading. Take the case below.
<<
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
Thank you, Carl and Tao. I'll try both ideas.
I've found that LilyPond *can* print many jazzy chord names after all, though
some of them look a little unwieldy.
The Chord Name Chart in the LilyPond Manual lists the resulting printed view of
the chord names but it does not list the actual words
I have developed my own chord name font, "Cifrado", which I use to print scores
in other programs. With it, I'm able to print complex jazz chords with fewer
keystrokes (e.g., "A7#9b13" is input just with "ax;"). I've been trying to make
OooLilyPond use this font for chord names in OpenOffice. I'
OooLilyPond seems to be EXACTLY what I was looking for to write a book on jazz
improvisation.
I use Window XP and I can get it to insert simple scores in OpenOffice.org such
as:
\key c \minor \relative c'' { c16 es, d es c es d es c' es, d es c es d es }
which is the test given in the sourcefo
