Thomas, devs, what do you want to do with this thread?

As I understand it, a user on the German forum has tried this, for good
reasons, and it failed with a programming error.

David explained that this is not surprising.

So, we can treat this as a bug, with a resolution that Lilypond
detectings the condition and reports it as an error and exits.

Or the feature of "ChordNames within a Staff" could be documented using
the advice given (but not yet proven?) as per David's last email.

Or we can reject the bug report.

Please advise.

Cheers,
Colin.
