My opinion is that it's an abomination which should be avoided - not primarily
because of the ambiguity (which I don't feel strongly myself; to me it means
maj7), but because of the redundancy: why introduce a separate symbol - an
ambiguous one at that (although there are subcultures where it is common) -
when there is a notation with next-to-ISO status, such as maj7?
Especially in the days of guitar tabs, the odd, strange, weird, jazzy symbols
make a LP lead sheet look odd/antiquated.
I know one can redefine it, so I shouldn't complain, but in general I think
the chord notation system is the weakest area in Lilypond.
