OK. I guess I was looking at this as a step to eliminating the *need* for
chordmode and deprecating it (as was suggested by David originally). Of
course chordmode won't be eliminated until 3.0 (because we're in a syntax
freeze), but I think that if we want to eliminate anything in 3.0, we'd
better have some good experience with alternatives, either in 2.13.x or
2.15.x.
I was *not* envisioning these changes as a change to chordmode syntax.
Thanks,
