There is a discussion on -bug about the display of chords for jazz
musicians, essentially asking for simplification in the interests of
readability.  Following on Bart's suggestion, is it feasible to create
alternate display modes tied to a table, such that one could e.g.

\setDiaqgramInstrument ="guitar" 
\setChordDisplay = "jazz"

I'm away for the day, but I'd bew quite happy raising an enhancement
issue around this.
