Cool, thanks. Will have a look when I get a moment.

Will look at 1 and 2 later, but wanted to comment on 3:

The ChordName text style is still there internally, but got "hidden" not
too long ago, I think by miwarre, and I seem to remember him explaining why.
I think it was mainly for consistency with the fact that he did the same
for figured bass.

However, a few days ago I too thought that it ought to be made visible
again. I wanted to try changing the font of rendered chords too. So it's
interesting that you want to as well.

There's probably a bit setting in the style list initialisation that you
could try changing. I'll have a look too.

Cheers
