There was a thread earlier this year on that very topic:

Good day.

I wish to use the Nashville Number System, using numbers in place of chord names, for a simple lead sheet or chord chart. While it is possible to simply enter and position chords using \lyricmode, I do not know of a way to include the superscripts such as maj7 or sus4. Is there a way to use '\chords' and replace the letter chord names with numbers?

I am entering chords in the following way:

\version "2.22.1"
\chords { c1 f:sus4 }

I appreciate any assistance.
