Re: Em2 chord

[David Stocker]

In contemporary music, we call this "Em(add2)" since a "suspended" note 
implies an eventual resolution to the third, which is already present in 
a m(add2) chord. (Although in reality, suspended notes are resolved 
about as often as not these days).

We also use add9, add11, and occasionally add#4 and others. Are "add" 
chords supported in Lilypond?
