Hi there, thanks again, I'll give it a try. :)

And no, I'm not confusing the two, I just don't give a <CENSORED> on the Lilypond internal chord representation. And there's reason for that: I think, nearly noone ever uses \chordmode input for really printing chords with notes, but nearly everyone uses it to just print chord-names, for example in leadsheets. And we surely agree, Lilyponds main purpose is to generate beautiful looking sheets of music. With Lily 2.18 "c1:9" and "c1:9^7" are printed the same way, noone of the readers of my leadsheet knows of my input. That's why I said, the two chord are "made the same". Up until 2.16 (and I think from version 1.4, with which I started using the tool), the chords were printed differently. I also know, one of Lilypond's great advantages is to let the user quite easily change defaults, so if I don't like "C9"/"Cadd9", but rather "C7/9"/"C9", or whatever else, I'm able to change that to whatever I want. But it is a bug (or regression) to print different chords the same way by default, there should be a difference. The proposed solution is, to change the defaults to get at least different chord names printed, and that one is a workaround: I have a lot of sheets using those "jazzish" chords (augmented, diminished, half-diminished, 9, 11, 13, whatever), and I don't want to change every of my input files (and in there every chord not beeing "normal" like, C, G, etc.) just to get the same behavior in the output-pdf as with Lilypond 2.16 (or a least different chord names for different chords). I hope I could make myself clearer now. PS: Could you please stop sending me a copy? I do not get the list mails in that case, so the thread is destroyed now. And I'm reading the list.
