In a lead sheet I want to use the chord which I call an "added ninth". Using
the key of C as an example, I want the chord C-E-G-D: a plain major triad with
the ninth added on top.

Try "c1:9^7"
That is:  dominant ninth, delete the seventh.

I don't know how the chord *name* will display, but that can be adjusted
with overrides; this will at least get the notes right.

You can also use "c1:5.9", which just adds the 9th over the basic triad.
