Hi, Nathan:

Thank you for your solution code.

Hi, lily users,

I have trouble displaying number 7 on a chord, but 9 is OK.  Please refer to .ly file

I also don't know how to code these chord ( refer to .png : G(add2) G(sus4) & A(add9) )

LilyPond already supports sus4, although it's not in parentheses. The code for entering it is "c:sus4".

To enter add2, add9, and other custom chords, use chord exceptions:

chExceptionMusic = {

  <c e g d'>1-\markup \super "(add9)"

  <c d e g>1-\markup \super "(add2)"

  <c f g>1-\markup \super "(sus4)"

}

chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t) ignatzekExceptions)

\score {

  <<

    \new ChordNames \chordmode {

      c1 c1:3.5.9 c1:2.3.5 c1:sus4

    }

    \new Staff \relative c' {

      c1 c1 c1 c1

    }

  >>

  \layout {

    \context {

      \ChordNames

      chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions

    }

  }

}
