Hi! I guess this is a rather common question, but I could not find any good answer in the archives. I have tried MusixTeX and found it very nice and useful. It is complicated, but very powerful and suits me perfectly when I write more complex scores. However, I'm also a jazz musician and would like to be able to simply write just a single line of a theme and some (jazz) chords. I understand that LilyPond can do this for me, but I'm used to TeX and can't see why I should need to learn something else (especially when LilyPond ends up in a tex file). Besides, LilyPond never worked for me when I tried to use it. I can use the MusixTeX \Uptext macro to write chords, but in order to get a nice chord notation i need to write superscript characters and use the special "b", "#", "maj7", "dim" and "halfdim" symbols. Do they exist in the MusixTeX fonts, and can I easily access them? Is there a similar package like the guitar-chord-and-tabular-package available, that allow me to write chord names? Stefan
