Re: chords in fragments?

[Mats Bengtsson]

You are using the ill documented feature \chords{...}
which is a shorthand for \new ChordNames \chordmode {...}

What you want to use is \chordmode in your definitions of akstrofe and 
akrefrein but \new ChordNames in your definition
of akkoorden. Please read the sections on chord names in the main 
manual for more information.
