change request of vim syntax file 'runtime/syntax/chordpro.vim'

[nibo]

Hello there,

I reached out to the maintainer Niels Bo Andersen (ni...@niboan.dk) of
the chordpro syntax file in `runtime/syntax/chordpro.vim`. I sent that
email on 12/1/24 and didn't get a response yet. According to the
contributing guideline at
`https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#syntax-indent-and-other-runtime-files`
I now post here in the mailing list.

This is the email I sent to Niels Bo Andersen:

Hello Niels Bo Andersen,

I'm currently writing an implementation of the chordpro standard and am
using vim for editing. When I edit a text file with the file extension
'.cho' the chordpro syntax highlighting applies to my file but one word
doesn't get highlighted which probably should.

Based on the documenation at
'https://chordpro.org/beta/directives-define/#defining-chords-for-keyboard-instruments'
you can define a chord for a keyboard instrument like this:

{define: D keys 0 4 7}

The keyword 'keys' does not get highlighted. I think it should get
highlighted. If you want to change that feel free to have a look at the
patch file I'll attach.

Have a nice day,

Robin
