Wow, that is a very interesting idea. A lot of jazz musicians like the chord
name spelled out (Cmin7b5) and others prefer it more symbolic (CØ). It would
be *really* cool to be able to just choose between nomenclature styles.
It would also be wonderful to be able to stack extensions and alternative
voicings:
D7(b5)
(b9)
D7#5(b13) but in one tall parentheses (there may be a way to do that already
but I don't know how).
Also, whomever added the "N.C." function to \chordmode when a rest is entered
did a very nice thing IMHO. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that.
