It's not obvious to me whether c\chord #'(1 7) should produce "c b" or "c bes". Musically speaking, I'd look at the key signature; if it were c major, I would assume it meant "c b" since "b" is the seventh note of the scale. This may be a problem for the numeric syntax. I suppose we could define each number as being a perfect, major, or minor interval; users can adjust those intervals with + or - as required.
