Only one quality modifier should be used per chord, typically on the
highest step present in the chord. Chords with more than quality

Chords containing inversions or altered bass notes are not named
properly if entered using simultaneous music.
In addition to the different naming systems, different note names
are used for the root in different languages. The predefined
-variables @code{\germanChords}, @code{\semiGermanChords},
+commands @code{\germanChords}, @code{\semiGermanChords},
@code{\italianChords} and @code{\frenchChords} set these variables.
The effect is demonstrated here:
options are @code{whiteTriangleMarkup} and
@code{blackTriangleMarkup}.

+@item additionalPitchPrefix

+When the chord name contains additional pitches, they can optionally
+be prefixed with some text. The default is no prefix, in order to

+pitches this can be visually effective.

+
+Chords can be played over a bass note other than the conventional root
+of the chord. These are known as ``inversions'' or ``slash chords'',
+because the default way of notating them is with a forward slash
+between the main chord and the bass note. Therefore the value of
+@code{slashChordSeparator} defaults to a forward slash, but you can
+change it to any markup you choose.

+@item minorChordModifier
+
+Minor chords are often denoted via a @q{m} suffix to the right of the
