Hi Brett, hi list!
We agree on the point that Tomas has to "roll his own" like you call it
as long as he wants lily to display G#-minor-add2.
And just to stop a debatte before it comes up:
I understand your point an add2-chord being a different voicing than an
add9-chord. I asked a musician who studied classical piano about A# in a
G#-minor and she answered it is always called a 9. Depending on the
pitch you have a different impression what the chord sounds like.
Also I was aware of the fact that interpretation in the context of jazz
can be different. A quick glance in a jazz book I have couldn't give me
an answer. Perhaps the following link shows it best how interpretation
can differ (right at the bottom):

Of course an add2 isn't an inversion of add9. What I wanted to show by
my C-major example: The same chord name can be meant as different vocings.
Regards
Thies
