One questions about chords in lilypond. Is the point
only to make the chords get transposed, or should
lilypond understand chords, and possibly play them in
midi and write the chords as notes?

I don't know what lily can handle, but C-9 is better
than C9@, more natural to musicians. I'd like the
syntax to be as similar to how you write chords with
pen or pencis.

If you want the chord c e g d', I think Cadd9 looks
simplest, I can't se a need for something like C9no7,
but my view may be quite limited ;-) .
The diff includes mudela-book fixes.
