Hi Dave Kemper,

Thank you for the positive feedback.
Well I understand why you would want it to be .nf.
But I wanted to use the chord sheets on a small ereader I use all the space
as efficiently as possible.
Maybe I can add the .nf function as an option on the command line. Or
change the macro name.
Thanks for your input.
Kind regards
Wim Stockman
