Hi Tim,

> I am not sure that Lilypond handles polychords gracefully either

It doesn’t, as far as I can tell.
Improving that situation is part of my goal with my B&R stylesheet effort (as 
they explicitly consider polychords).

I’m hoping that, once I’m done with this chord-names project, both will be able 
to use Lilypond easily

Cheers,
Kieren.
