Re:How can I make a 7.9+.9- chord

[Flaming Hakama by Elaine]

Dear list,

I would like to write a "dis:7.9+.9-" chord in \chordmode. However, both
in ChordNames lines and in scores, it appears to be a "dis:7.9-" chord.
If I write "dis:7.9-.9+", it appears to be a "dis:7.9+" chord.

This is a current restriction of LilyPond's chord handling abilities.
You cannot use two alterations of the same interval.

Here's one way to do it, if somewhat unsemantically, by treating the b9 as a #8:

\version "2.19.15"

myChordNames = {
    <c e g bes cis' dis'>1-\markup { \raise #0.7 { \normalsize 7 } \raise #3.9 { \tiny \center-column { \lower #1.25 { " b9" } " #9" } } }
}
chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions myChordNames #t) ignatzekExceptions)


songChords = \chordmode { 
    \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
    dis:7.8+.9+
}
songMusic = \relative { R1 }

\score {
    \new StaffGroup <<
        \new ChordNames { \songChords }
        \new Staff { \songMusic }
    >>
}

HTH,
