Re: Chord names: Spacing and naming problems

[Mats Bengtsson]

For the first question, the basic principles are described in Section
"Vertical Spacing within a System" of the manual.

I have never worked with the chords myself but know that it's possible
to specify exceptions. I hope you have tried the \germanChords and 
semiGermanChords macros described in the manual.
