Hi,

In jazz lead sheets one often comes across alternate chord names in
parentheses written above the standard chord to signify an alternative
harmony that can be played. I have tried doing that using this as a simple
example of an alternative IIm7-V7 back to Imaj:

\version "2.25.4"

Harmonies = \chordmode {
  a1:maj
  <<
    { \voiceOne \parenthesize b2:m7 e2:7 }{ \voiceTwo a1:maj }
  >>
  \oneVoice
  a1:maj
}

\score {
  <<
    \new ChordNames \Harmonies
    \new Staff {
      R1
      <<
        {\voiceOne R1}{\voiceTwo R1}
      >>
      \oneVoice R1
    }
  >>
}

but it only produces this (I've also tried the << {..}//{..}>> notation)
