%============================================================
guitarchords = \chordmode {
\override ChordName.font-size = #3
\override Parentheses.font-size = #2 % I retyped this line
\override ChordName.style = #'american
\basicchords }
capochords = \chordmode {
\override ChordName.font-size = #-3
\override Parentheses.font-size = #2
\override ChordName.style = #'american
\parenthesizeAllchords
\basicchords
}
