Re: How do I enter the chord "B(add4)/G#"?

Thanks to Jan and Christopher for their help!  Just to summarise:

Given Jan's reply that "B(add4)/G#" is <gis b dis e fis>, the correct chord 
name under LilyPond is indeed "b:5.4/gis"---as proved by the very small 
LilyPond fragment below:

  \version "2.12.0"

  k  = { \key e \major \time 4/4 }
  ch = \chordmode { b1 b1:5.4 b1:5.4/gis b1:11 b1:11/gis }
  no = \relative c'' { <b dis fis>1 <b dis e fis>1 <gis b dis e fis>1
       <b dis fis a cis e>1 <gis b dis fis a cis e>1 }

  \score {
      \new Staff <<
          \new ChordNames = "chOne" << { \k \ch } >>
          \new Staff = "One" <<
              \new Voice = "noOne" << { \k \ch } >>
          >>
          \new ChordNames = "chTwo" << { \k \no } >>
          \new Staff = "Two" <<
              \new Voice = "noTwo" << { \k \no } >>
          >>
      >>

      \layout { }
      \midi { }
  }

Once again, thanks for your help!

Yours truly,

John Zaitseff
