Re: mma format to ly format?

Hi David!

midi2ly converts midi to notes. Chord symbols are made by creating a
ChordName context. Even without \chordmode the ChordName context works
fine; so you could convert your chord sequence into a variable and called
it to a ChordName context (or other contexts).
