Re: How do I do these chord symbols?

Noticed that you haven't gotten a response from anyone with more  
ChordName(s) experience than I...
Just in case this is an "emergency", I thought I'd offer the attached  
code, for your consideration.

DISCLAIMERS:
1. This is a TOTAL HACK -- there's more than likely a better way  
(using chord-name-exception, etc.).
2. Use this *ONLY* if the ChordNames are being used exclusively for  
display -- i.e., this will *NOT* generate "clean" MIDI, chord note  
content, etc.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
