Can you really feed some notes to Lilypond and it tells you the name of
the chord? A kind of reverse chord finder? I have not found in the manual.
Is'nt the composer the person to define the desired sound in defining
notes and chord colours?
Again: There is not just one single name for an essamble of more than
three notes. And even with three notes there are inversions possible. A
c chord usually is <c e g>, with c the lowest note and g the highest.
What's with <e g c>? It is Em#5 or C/E - you have the choice. And <g c
e> is C/G or Em#5/G. Now do the same with 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, ... note chords.

When someone enters a set of notes and asks LilyPond to print the chord
name, there's such a thing as a wrong answer, even if there may also be
more than one answer you would call correct. LilyPond has to print
something and it would be preferable that it prints one of the correct
answers. What rules should LilyPond follow to determine what it prints?
