I have always wondered why we must "build" the chord manually. Who uses block chords these days? Wouldn't it be simpler to say C:2 should look like Cadd2, specify the markup for the chord expression, treating chords merely like lyrics and markup, instead of tying them to notes? Or am I missing something here.
