C4 sus4 add3 kind of encodes the same thing. C4 means we have a chord with top note 4th, similar to say C7, C9, C13 and so. sus4 automatically gets added when a 4th present, and when the third does actually also exist an add 3 gets added (yes it is weird, but that is Jazz theory, it does not need to make sense). So really it is Lilypond trying to make sense of something that does not quite fit into the concept (it is also kind of problem with the design chord spec -> actual notes -> guess chord spec -> text when Lilypond could very well remember the chord spec used and directly use that one. E.g. when entering `C:4` lilypond does not need to convert this into <c e f> just to then guess it is a c chord with XYZ, but could also just look at the input and format as `C^4`). Cheers, Tina
