Asus4 is a particular kind of chord where the "4" is held over from another harmony (like IV-I).

A4 would seem to indicate an 'A' played with a perfect fourth above (in the way 'A5' is understood to mean 'A' played with a perfect fifth above.

Now I want the same with A^4, so I type:

\chords {
        a:4

and I get: A^4/sus4/add3.

Question: How do I get just an "A^4"? :)
Just use a chord name exception -- it looks like a lot of setting up,
but it's well worth it, and only needs to be done once.  You can also
put this kind of thing in a separate file and \include it.

Can somebody explain what's the difference between printing "A^sus4" and
"A^4"? I had only basic music education but am helping with publishing a
songbook using Lilypond, and I thought that the difference is not
important. But now I'm afraid I'm wrong and that I'll have to check some
songs again. Is that right?
