These are indeed LilyPond directives, and these are only useful when working with LilyPond. > I agree introducing a new ChordEvent (or whatever the name will be) is a > better idea.

It seems to me we could disable the legacy text chord in the GUI, so it is no longer possible to create new ones. Existing ones would continue to work as they always did. For new chords, I'm seeing a new tool whose icon sits next to the guitar fretboard diagram tool. It inserts a new kind of entity that displays itself as text in the notation editor, the way the old chord type text events did, but this entity has super powers. My biggest concern about this is making the new entity a reality. I think we should concentrate on that project first, and once there's something to hang the superpowers off of, power the thing up. > I had a look at the GuitarChord too but it seems to me too much related to the > fingering of the chord instead of chords in in term of harmony.
