Re: Chords showing on bottom?

[Mats Bengtsson]

Just move the ChordNames out of the PianoStaff, i.e.

...
    \new ChordNames {...}
    \new PianoStaff <<
      \new Staff { ...

I don't really understand why your example doesn't work as
expected, but a PianoStaff is certainly not intended to contain
anything bug ordinary Staff lines.
