Agreed. > Composers should generally save themselves the bother. If you mean composers (or, really, engravers) should save themselves the bother of writing chord names, I disagree. If you mean there is a point of diminishing marginal utility on the number of “extras” that are useful in chord naming, I agree. But then we are, to some extent, back to "individual preference” (cf. the top of your email).
