You have a point. I found that it didn't work, possibly because of
changes in sed. You need -r to get extended regular expressions
now. Just run this on your chords. A batch file would be very
similar. Make it a .bat, get rid of the top line, change # to 
rem. Hopefully you wouldn't need 
> type %1 | sed
instead of putting the parameter at the ends. 

#!/bin/bash
# split-chord
echo "part one"
sed '{
s/<< *\([^ ][^ ]*\)  *[^ ][^ ]*  *[^ ][^ ]* *>>\([0-9]*\)/\1\2 /g
}' $1
echo "part two"
sed '{
s/<< *[^ ][^ ]*  *\([^ ][^ ]*\)  *[^ ][^ ]* *>>\([0-9]*\)/\1\2 /g
}' $1
echo "part three"
sed '{
s/<< *[^ ][^ ]*  *[^ ][^ ]*  *\([^ ][^ ]*\) *>>\([0-9]*\)/\1\2 /g
}' $1

You can put the results in separate files by adding:

}' $1 > yourfile.ly

Usage:
$ ./split-chord file
and copy off the screen, or:
$ ./split-chord file > yourparts.ly

Test:
Contents of file: 

<<a b c>> << d e f >>4 <<gb h i>>8

Result:

part one
a  d4  gb8
part two
b  e4  h8
part three
c  f4  i8

Forgot the ,, and ''' but they're ok. I checked. Its done with
spaces and nonspaces. Regards, daveA
