Hi Keith,
Save a copy of the file "pop-chords.ly" in the same directory that you
want to use it. Alternatively, you can put a copy of the file into your
LilyPond installation in .../usr/share/lilypond/current/ly (Linux,
similar on Windows). After that, just do \include "pop-chords.ly" in the
top of the file you want to use it in.
Also, you can have a look at some of the chord suffixes I've been
fooling around with. Just run LilyPond on the file to see what the
suffixes look like by themselves. I'm working on how to incorporate this
into a file like "pop-chords.ly" and even make an expanded set of chord
modifiers to use in \chordmode.
Best regards,
David

David,
I saw your post regarding pop-chords. I tried copying the file and
running it through LilyPond, but I don't get any PDF file created.
The only messages that shows in the log file are:
# -*-compilation-*-
Processing `C:/LilyPond Data/Pop-chords-test.ly'
Parsing...
Do you have an example of using pop-chords.ly <http://pop-chords.ly>?
I'm working on an arrangement which has lots of altered chords and I
would like to see if I can use "jazz nomenclature" rather than the
LilyPond default.
Thanks,
Keith Luke
