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
