Hmm.  Might we need
  c\chord #'(1 3++ 7--)
?  I'm not prepared to claim that there's no theory of chords that
includes doubly-augmented intervals relative to the base note.

I'm not entirely comfortable about have 4 1.  OTOH, I'm not overly
eager to have things like
  c\chord #'(-4 1 3- 5-)

An alternate that makes sense to me would be
  c\chord #'(-4 1 3es 5es)
but then we're dragging language-specific definitions into this
construct, which would be bad.

or we could just tell people that if they mess around with custom
chords (instead of using predefined \maj or \majInversionFirst ),
they need to know the difference between a - sign before and after
a number.
