New issue 4433 by address@hidden: Inconsistent interpretation of  
intervals in chord mode
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4433

pls wrote :

in chord mode the basic seventh step added to a tonic is the flattened  
seventh (e.g. c:1.7).  Diminished sevenths and major sevenths can be  
achieved by suffixing a '-' or '+' to the number (e.g. c:1.7- or c:1.7+).   
But this interpretation changes when the notes extend beyond the range of  
one octave.  c:1.14 is now interpreted as a major seventh, c:1.14+ and  
c:1.14- are now displayed as an augmented major seventh and a flattened  
seventh, respectively (see attachment). Currently it's not possible at all  
to display a diminished seventh one octave higher.  So this looks like a  
bug to me.

\version "2.19.21"

intervals = \chordmode {
  c1:1.7
  c1:1.7+
  c1:1.7-

  c1:1.14
  c1:1.14+
  c1:1.14-
}
