Thanks, this works very well. I was thinking about using "text-interface" but I 

realized that was going in the wrong direction.



Additionally, I found that I can change the capo 3 chord line so that it stands 

out from the other line by bolding it thus:



\override ChordNames.ChordName #'font-series = #'bold



where the chords actually are.



Thanks again for the help.
