Re: proofreading tutorial

[Mats Bengtsson]

I managed to find out that the comment was added by Han-Wen
in the patch
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=commitdiff;h=b1b62afbf96285ebd4d4406e21dee15f43366bad
I don't really understand the comment, since the revision indeed added 
the use
of \chords.

\chords {...} is just a shorthand for \new ChordNames \chordmode {...}
just as \figures{...} is a shorthand for \new FiguredBass \figuremode and
similarly for \drums and \lyrics. See also
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-04/msg00332.html

Without really knowing much about chords, it seems to me that the
current text is relevant.
