Just make a -jazz variant.
About your other question (/o), something like this should have worked,
but it doesn't yet:
#(set! chord::names-alist-american
(append
'(
;(((0 . 0) (2 . -1) (4 . -1) (6 . -1)) . (("x7" (type . "super"))))
(((0 . 0) (2 . -1) (4 . -1) (6 . -1)) . (("o" (type . "super")) ("/" (size .
-2) (offset . (-1.0 . 0.5))) ("7" (type . "super"))))
)
chord::names-alist-american))
Only the y-axis translation seems to work, translating the x-axis seems
broken, Han-Wen?
