Re: Custom chord suffix, no chord name

[Mats Bengtsson]

Would it be hard to allow for \markup commands inserted directly
among the chords? That would provide a simple solution for all different
kind of requests of special chord notation. The syntax of the solution below
looks like a real hack.
I added the corresponding feature for figured bass some time ago, which was
really simple. Here, I realize that it could be a bit more complicated 
to do,
for example you need a syntax to specify the duration of the markup, but it
would certainly be nice if it was possible.
