In the interest of putting this thread out of its misery, the
canonical place to find jazz-chords.ily is:

The community is in debt to Robert Schmaus for his fine work.

I see many references to this on the mailing list, but are these files
anywhere standard? I grabbed an old jazz-chords.ly from some mailing list
message, but then it didn't work when I included it, and it had no version
number so I couldn't figure out how to convert it.
What I actually want to
Apparently I can get just say f:7.9- to get an F7b9. Hooray! Still
wondering if there's a canonical place for pop-chords.

Are you suggesting that the file pop-chords.ly can be obtained from the
snippets repository? If so, I don't yet see how. Or are you just
suggesting that the snippets repository contains many useful and
interesting examples, in which case I agree completely?

Well, the latter. But if you search for jazz chords you find a pretty
good function. I haven't tried it, but I may soon as I have wanted to use

Actually, I'm still not really finding what I want in the snippets
repository. I don't see how I can [for instance] get a minor 7th chord
symbol. I just want to say The chord here is F-7 [or Eb-6/9], without
having to write out all the notes of the chord, which is what seems to
happen in the
I guess what I'm looking for is where the description of the chord
language is. Trial and error and matching examples is telling me that
f:7.m and ees:m.6.9 are useful, although ees.m69 seems to print a min 13th
chord for reasons I don't yet grok. Is this syntax all laid out somewhere?

But, of course, you'll find it documented in the Notation Reference:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/chord-notation and
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-chord-modifiers.
Thus, following your examples, you write f1:m7 or ef1:6.9.
