Re: add2 chords

[Tiffany Weisman]

I have always wondered why we must "build" the chord
manually. Who uses block chords these days? Wouldn't
it be simpler to say C:2 should look like Cadd2,
specify the markup for the chord expression, treating
chords merely like lyrics and markup, instead of tying
them to notes? Or am I missing something here.
