This is my first attempt to get some reasonable chord symbol output from
lily, and it's looking pretty good.  There are a few problems, though:

Chord #3, C diminished: The circle is in the correct spot, but a little too
big. If it could be the same size as #8, it would be perfect.

Chord #8, C diminished 7th: The circle should be a superscript, and the
numeral should not be superscripted.

Chord #12: C half-diminished 7th: Same as #8, but the "x" should really be a
circle with a forward slash through it.  Does a character need to be created
for this?

Chord #13: The flat sign should be the same size as and in the same position
as the numeral.

Chord #19: Should be Cadd9, but lily is overriding it for some unknown
reason.

Chord #20: Should be C6/9, same as #19.

Chord #21: The numeral should be the same size as the letter.

Chord #22: Should be Cmaj9, same as #19.

I should say here (before anyone starts screaming) that there are synonyms
for some of these, such as C+ for Caug, Csus4 for Csus, Cdim for Co, etc...
I'm not sure how to handle synonyms (or if it's even possible to do so,
short of having a bunch of different files for each flavor of chord
symbols).

It's looking really good!  Hats off to you guys!  Now if only there were
fretboard diagrams...  ;-p
