The documentation is right, of course - I didn't knew that until I  
tried it... :)

BTW: Most of my sources for this songbook use that oldfashioned style,  
and I know some aren't younger than 10 years.
But this songbook is for old people anyway. ;-)


Just, pretty please: Could someone tell me how to get chord names with  
-is and -es (saying "fis" and not "f#")?
Or of course point me to the appropriate chapter of the docs.
