Ok, I have a better handle on this now. The only problem (as I see it) that
exists (aside from Lily trying to mangle-ize the chord pitches and
outputting weird chord names for pitch collections that are relatively
non-strange) is assuming that the bass note is part of the chord, when in
fact it may or may not be--it could be a pedal tone or even a non-chordal
tone. I think I can fix this for you... Is there some reason why you would
want to assume that the bass note is chordal?

BTW, I noticed that there exist identifiers to create flats and sharps as
part of the note string ('\\textflat' & '\\textsharp'). Are there such
identifiers for other symbols such as a small open circle (superscripted)
and a small open circle with a slash through it (also superscripted)?
