One thought though: As far as I understand it: displaying chords within Lilypond is not done with/by a "normal" font but rather a specialchord-mechanism. I fear, that this mechanism (as far I've seen) does a good job, but can also be seen as a limitation. How wrong would it be to createa normal font (with tons of ligatures) which I could use asinfo/comments/expression - NOT in Chord-mode to display chords? I feel likethat would be the only way that leads to perfect chord symbols. Or am I completely out? :-)
A ChordName is nothing more than markup at the end of the day. Since the default stencil is ly:text-interface::print, anything you can do in \markup you can do in a ChordName. That gives you nearly all the freedom you would ever need, so there should be nothing to worry.
