I think the greatest problem is the current difficulty to change the chord-name-printing slightly (in details) or general. Once I tried to get Brandt-Roemer namings. The criteria which pitches are regarded to set extensions, etc are different enough from Ignatzek that it would have resulted in a complete rewrite of the chord-naming-procedure. Nothing what we could expect from an average user. But even for slight changes one would need to rewrite the procedure in many cases. Ofcourse with a lot of copy'n paste but it is always pretty tedious. Would be great to offer the user an easy way to do so. Though, as I mentioned above Brandt-Roemer have a different opinion, what is an extension, etc compared to Ignatzek. So it might be very tricky to get the "internal chord representation" correct, (If I understood it correctly, at all ...) to offer the posibility for the user to switch between different chord-layouts as he may like.
