I've searched the archives and the web generally; all that I have found
on this subject leads me to believe that the facility I need is not
there, which is perplexing since it's not particularly esoteric. Can
someone either confirm my understanding or put me right? (I'm using
2.18.2 on a Debian-based system).
In a lead sheet I want to use the chord which I call an "added ninth".
Using the key of C as an example, I want the chord C-E-G-D: a plain
major triad with the ninth added on top.
"add9" is not a valid chord designator in Lilypond, as far as I can see.
I can ask for "9" or "maj9" or "sus2" but none of these is my chord:
The ninth is a dominant ninth: C-E-G-Bb-D Quite a different animal.
Major ninth is C-E-G-B-D
Sus2 is C-D-G, where the third is (temporarily, usually) /replaced/ by
the second.
Am I stuck? I'm hoping there is some magic somewhere to help.
