Hi,

this is another font and simply installing the font doesn't changes
accidentals in chords with alterations.

So I made some effort and fully coded chords with Torstens font.
-> ignatzek-jazz-chords.ily

It wasn't that hard, most work was to collect all needed definitions
in a single file. More a hint how less flexible LilyPond seems to be
in that specific area (i.e. coding different writings of chord-names).

Additionally LillyJAZZ.ily was updated with all recent improvements.


Example:

\version "2.17.28"

\include "LilyJAZZ-2/LilyJAZZ.ily"

\include "LilyJAZZ-2/ignatzek-jazz-chords.ily"

\header {
  title =
  \markup {
    \fontsize #3
    \override #'(font-name . "LilyJAZZ Text")
    "Some LillyJAZZ-testing"
  }
}

\layout {
  indent = 0
}

<<
  %% "Text_engraver" is inserted for some comments only, delete it
  %% and \notemode { ... }
  \new ChordNames \with { \consists "Text_engraver" }
  \chordmode {
    c2:5- d:sus4.9+ e f g a
    \notemode { s^\markup \fontsize #-3 "Some crazy testing:" }
    b:m5-.6+.7.9-.11+.13+
  }

  \new Staff
  \relative c' {
    \jazzOn
    ces dis e f g a b b
  }
>>

\new Staff
  \new Voice \with {
    \consists "Pitch_squash_engraver"
  }
  \relative c' {
    \jazzOn
    \numericTimeSignature
    e8 e g a a16( bes) a8 g
    \improvisationOn
    e8 ~
    e2 ~ e8 f4 f8 ~
    f1 ~
    f2
    \improvisationOff
    a16( bes) a8 g e
    \jazzOff
  }

Cheers,
  Harm
