The latest version I could find that displayed "add9" for 9^7 is 2.14.2.
Somewhere between that and 2.16.2 we lost the ability.
I tend to think of this as a regression bug, although an old one. c:9^7 is
not the same as c:9. As I use "add9" a lot I would like to see this
function restored. Should I post to bugs?
\version "2.14.2"
\score {
\new ChordNames \chordmode {
c1:9^7 % Cadd9
c1:9 % C9
}
\layout {
}
}
