Uhm, since you are working on the chords: is there any possibility to have 
chord names also in other languages? I.e. Am in italian is LAm, Bsus4 is 
SIsus4 (only the note name changes, the chord system is the same all over the 
world); As there is an include to change note name, it may be sensible to 
provide internationalized chord names. I haven't looked at the code yet, but 
it seems that engraved chord names are just a font rendering operation, and 
so having them internationalized should be trivial.

(Sorry, if I bomb you with mail and questions, but is important to me to get a 
grasp on the internal features of an engine to start working at it. I always 
do lots of questions and document peeking before starting putting my hands on 
a problem).
