For context:

[GLISS] Unifying \chordmode and \notemode

Why don't we get rid of \chordmode?

Probably there were other discussions after that, but these were the 
first I found.

Just for confirmation: This does _not_ mean that \chordmode would be 
abandoned, does it? (I probably got confused by some of the ideas in 
those old threads.)

As someone who uses \figuremode on a daily basis, I learned to loathe 
the necessary < > signs around each and every element I enter (of course 
I get that it would be hard to get rid of them in figure mode). I think 
it would be a considerable gain in heavy-handedness if I would have to do

<f:maj7>1*2 <g:7> <g:m7>1 <ges:7>1 <f:maj7> <ges:7>

instead of

f1*2:maj7 g:7 g1:m7 ges1:7 f1:maj7 ges1:7
