I don't consider myself an "expert", but after 20 years of playing with 
various pop, rock and jazz groups, I've got a pretty good idea of what's 
out there as far as chord notation goes, and I'm willing to be part of 
the discussion. I'm also willing to help on the programming side _if_ I 
can get my head around Scheme.
