Hi Brett, hi list!We agree on the point that Tomas has to "roll his own" like you call it as long as he wants lily to display G#-minor-add2.
And just to stop a debatte before it comes up:I understand your point an add2-chord being a different voicing than an add9-chord. I asked a musician who studied classical piano about A# in a G#-minor and she answered it is always called a 9. Depending on the pitch you have a different impression what the chord sounds like.
Also I was aware of the fact that interpretation in the context of jazz can be different. A quick glance in a jazz book I have couldn't give me an answer. Perhaps the following link shows it best how interpretation can differ (right at the bottom):
