Doc: 989 - reg test chord-scripts.ly added to NR

No new snippet added, but new examples added and modified
in sections pertaining to chorded notes, chord mode and chord repetition
to illustrate the usage and limits of chorded notes with
articulations, ornamentation and dynamics attached to chords.

Added some cross referecences and an additional entry in known issues for
chordmode rather than show an example that 'wouldn't do anything'

-Relative mode can be used for pitches in chords. The octave of each

+Relative mode can be used for pitches in chords.  The first note of
+each chord is always relative to the first note of the chord that
+came before it, or in the case where no preceding chord exists; the
+pitch of the last note that came before the chord.  All remaining notes
+in the chord are relative to the note that came before it

 In order to save typing, a shortcut can be used to repeat the preceding

 As with regular chords, the chord repetition symbol can be used with
 durations, articulations, markups, slurs, beams, etc. as only the
 pitches of the previous chord are duplicated.
