+
+German songbooks may indicate minor chords as lowercase letters,
+without any @var{m} suffix. This can be obtained by setting the
+@code{chordNameLowercaseMinor} property:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote,ragged-right, relative=1]
+\chords {
+ \set chordNameLowercaseMinor = ##t
+ c2 d:m e:m f
+}
+@end lilypond
+
If none of the existing settings give the desired output, the chord
name display can be tuned through the following properties.
