Except <e bf g’ c''> contains a huge amount of information that cannot
currently be input in \chordmode (as far as I know).
Ultimately, as long as we end up with an input system robust enough to convey
that amount of information, I don’t particularly care whether it’s in
\chordmode or whatever.
Thanks,
Kieren.
