The default is to use a "triangle"
to notate such a chord (shown below
in my example" but I much prefer
the way the Real Book notates
such chords, by writing out
"maj7".

How can I get the \chords {} syntax
to notate "major 7 chords as
I prefer, using the notation
"maj7" ?


You need to adjust the majorSevenSymbol [1].
