[GLISS] Unifying \chordmode and \notemode

2012-09-03 Thread David Kastrup
I actually remembered one thing that remains worth doing: integrating \chordmode into \notemode. \chordmode and \notemode are quite orthogonal, and there are actually only few differences: c means a major chord in chordmode, a note in notemode c: means a major chord in chordmode, a tremolo
