more on chord names

[Paul Scott]

In the docs chord names seem to be somewhat connected with the notes in 
the music.  I don't want to have any automagic connection between the 
music and the chord symbols.  Maybe I still don't understand how to 
generate some of the chord names.  In particular I need to generate a 
minor chord with a suspended 4th and can't find a way to build that.  I 
guess that is not the same as 'a min /d' which I think specifies that 
the 4th is in the bass?

I tried some of the markup exceptions and couldn't get what I tried to work.

Attached is where I am at the moment.  It also shows  an interesting 
feature (bug?) where specifying 3- gives a seemingly redundant m super 
(flat 3).

Thanks for any help,

Paul Scott
