Pretty sure he means suspended 4th (that would be my assumption when
reading it).

When you say it works, do you mean the computer understands you, or the reader?

Hello everybody!
I'm brand new to LilyPond, live in Austin, TX, work for the
University, play rhythm guitar with my friends, and use a Macintosh
computer.
While I came to LilyPond more because of a bandmate who has a musical
background and I figured I could help him transcribe a few things, I
will be very interested to see how chords are implemented with it,
since I frequently get away with sight reading them. FWIW, I agree
with Jennifer's comments about the Real books' chord conventions
being usable in most cases.
And David, thanks for openguitar.com; I've already been back to it twice today.
Now it's back to work for me,
Robert

ps. If you listen to "Corkscrew" on the "Beer On The Tracks" album,
you'll see what I have to deal with in transcribing Bob's music.
