Thanks! So ChordNames are in a \Score context, but ChordGrid has its own
separate \ChordGridScore context.

&gt;&gt;&gt; I started experimenting with LilyPond&#39;s ChordGrid display.=
 I can&#39;t find very many examples using it, so I guess it isn&#39;t very=

Amend your \layout like:<br>
<br>
\layout {<br>
=C2=A0 indent =3D 0<br>
=C2=A0 ragged-right =3D ##t<br>
=C2=A0 \context {<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \ChordGridScore<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 chordNameExceptions =3D #jazzChordsAdd<br>
=C2=A0 }<br>
=C2=A0 \context {<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 \Score<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 chordNameExceptions =3D #jazzChordsAdd<br>
=C2=A0 }<br>
}<br>
<br>
Works for me.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
