Hi Werner, thanks for the report (still a bit long indeed; but at
least I can see why you're confused).

I think you've misunderstood how to use \set.

It has to be used *inside* the relevant context; if you use it
*outside* ChordNames, it will be placed in the StaffGroup context and
therefore it will be useless.

So, you have several solutions:

\new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##t  \Harmonien }

or

\new ChordNames \with { chordChanges = ##t } \Harmonien

or (if you want to set it for the whole score)

\layout {
  \context {
    \ChordNames
    chordChanges = ##t
  }
}


Cheers,
Valentin
