I had to chuckle reading this, because I often send similar types of answers to 
the SuperCollider user mailing list. It's really hard to do this and make it 
not 
sound snippy, as in, "Well, you just didn't read it carefully enough." In fact, 
sometimes, learning where a particular piece of information lives in a large 
manual set takes as long as learning the software. True, this case seems pretty 
basic -- I'm just pointing out something that I try to keep in mind when I'm 
pointing an SC user to this or that help file.

Anyway, if the point is to put them together:

myChords = \relative c' {
  <c e g c e>1 ^"short text"
  <c d a' d f>
  <b d g d' f>
  <c e g c e>
}

<<
  % would be nice to reuse \myChords for \chordMode,
  % but \chordmode doesn't understand the 4-2 and 6-5 voicings
  % only from the note names
  \new ChordNames { \chordmode { c1 d:m/c g:7/b c } }
  \new Staff \myChords

Doesn't exist in the v2.16 manual.
