I managed to find out that the comment was added by Han-Wen
in the patch
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=commitdiff;h=b1b62afbf96285ebd4d4406e21dee15f43366bad
I don't really understand the comment, since the revision indeed added
the use
of \chords.
\chords {...} is just a shorthand for \new ChordNames \chordmode {...}
just as \figures{...} is a shorthand for \new FiguredBass \figuremode and
similarly for \drums and \lyrics. See also
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-04/msg00332.html
Without really knowing much about chords, it seems to me that the
current text is relevant.

The whole section 2.4.2 is the only one I didn't change. At the top
of the source for this section, I saw this:
@c TODO: revise this, \chords { } is shorter and more intuitive.
but I'm not certain what it means. (I know even less about chords
than I do about vocal music!)
Does anybody want to rewrite 2.4.2 (or simply vouch for the current
correctness) ? AFAIK, the current 2.4.2 was written back in the 1.2
or 1.4 days. Now, this info presented might still be correct, or it
may be out of date and confusing. I just need somebody who uses
chords who can look at this section and let me know.
Cheers,
