if you have other ideas for a project you may complete within the three
months of the program you're welcome to make a suggestion on our

-@subsubheading Improve internal chord structure
-
-The internal representation of LilyPond chords is not powerful enough
-to capture the nomenclature of jazz chords. Currently the chord has
-a root, a bass and an inversion. It would be nice to be able to handle
-stacked or polychords, minor/major, etc. In order to do this, an
-internal representation with the ability to capture the essence of
-complex chords must be developed. As a bonus, once the internal
-representation is developed, the output formatting of chord names can
-be improved.
-
-@emph{Difficulty:} Easy/medium
-
-@emph{Requirements:} Scheme (Guile), but the level necessary can be
-easily learned
-
-@emph{Recommended:} Chord theory and naming
