Thank you!  This seems to be a big improvement and I hope it'll reduce the
perennial confusion people have with chord names, if we can simply point
them to it as a way to print names that match the input.

My guess is that since chord names are most often used at all for things
like popular songs, which are relatively short and may not contain a whole
lot of other difficult engraving, this won't be prohibitive in practice.
