Pablo - you can display whatever symbol you want for a chord, and I'm guessing 
no matter what version you are using there is probably a regression example 
that shows how.Alas, as is usually the case when I look at me e-mail I'm at 
work and don't have any source files that have an example of chord name 
exceptions, and as usual I have a music rehearsal this evening so I won't be 
home until late...
 
But I am off from work tomorrow, so if you are still having trouble figuring 
out just how to get a 13th to be labeled as a superscript "13" rather than the 
default "9 add 13" (which incidentally is a perfectly correct name from a 
logical point of view) send me an e-mail off line and I'll shoot you over an 
example.  I still use an older version (2.6.5) but I think this feature has 
remained pretty much similar since.As for the A7#9b13, without a code file I'll 
probably get this wrong, but here goes:
 
a:7.9+.13-

Thank you, Carl and Tao. I'll try both ideas.
 
I've found that LilyPond *can* print many jazzy chord names after all, though 
some of  them look a little unwieldy.
 
The Chord Name Chart in the LilyPond Manual lists the resulting printed view of 
the chord names but it does not list the actual words we must input to get 
those names. For instance, I know that "f:min7" outputs as "Fm7" and "c:aug" 
outputs as "C+"; but what must the input be to get the output "C13". If I input 
"c:13", I get "C9/add13" which is a handful. What must be the input to print 
something like, say, A7#9b13?
 
Is there such a list?
