I'm not disagreeing with your logic on jazz chord notation. I'm sure that traditionally it would be the right system, and perhaps we could highlight the "proper" chords in the documentation. I'm merely saying Lilypond should accomodate those who want strange chord symbols and other weird things

The Postscript code used to draw the beams, just specifies a rectangle with straight lines between the corners, so the jagged look all depends on what you have done to the file and how you view it. I assume that you refer to what the score looks like when you view a PDF version of it with Acrobat.

I only meant the list as a starting point. I disagree that you shouldn't use "redundant" notation. Cadd9 is different from Cadd2 or Csus2. As is C9sus4 and C11. A higher chord extension suggests a different way of voicing the chord. The 2 in there suggests that you want the 2 and 3 or 2 and 1 prod
