Jazz Chord behavior without handwritten fonts
I'm not a fan of handwritten jazz fonts, like MuseJazz, but I require the functionality of selecting "Jazz" in the chord diagram appearance dialog. From what I understand, in order to get chord symbols to display correctly, we're locked into using MuseJazz for the chord symbol font. I would like the option of using other fonts, such as Open Serif, while keeping proper formatting of the symbols, such as smaller extensions and offset bass notes.

You can get this effect if you either design your own font with the appropriate characters already superscripted etc, or if you create a custom chord description file adapted from chords_jazz.xml. Most publications tha don't use handwritten fonts also don't use this type of formatting, which is why the default style doesn't either.
