Exporting chords

Hi all,

I was recently reminded of some difficulty I had in the past with sharing noteworthy files with friends who have Finale or Sibelius. Does anyone have any ideas on how you could export a file that had guitar chords written in it? (I don't expect to need this ability for a while, since I'm mainly doing classical music, but it would be nice to know there was a way) I currently use Lawrie's fonts to display chords, but I have used the fretqwick font in the past (I can't seem to find it anymore)

On that topic, does mxml support guitar chords?

<edit> I just realised that you could put the chords in the lyric line... (I usually use text)

Thanks for the link, Lawrie (I really should have checked the scripto... I Google searched it, and got a few questionable sites that had a file that was just a standard sans font)
