simplify jazz chord display

Please note that in a jazz context, using slashes to prefix modified notes  
such as a flat 5 is not just extra clutter, it is absolutely incorrect.   
Slashes are only used in jazz to denote modified bass notes or polychords.   
So in the former case the slash must not appear, whereas in the latter it  
must appear.  In lead sheets containing both cases, having to repeatedly  
change chordNameSeparator within one lead sheet is impractical, so comment  
2 is not generally useful.

All the original suggestions are excellent and I whole-heartedly agree with  
them.

Yet another suggestion would be to make the half-diminished slashed circle  
larger.  Really it should be roughly the same size as the triangle (which  
is currently too large).
