   In the 2.8 and 2.9 documentation in "7.2.2 Chords mode" we have:
   Modifiers  can  be used to change pitches. The following modifiers are
   supported:
   ...
   maj
   The major 7th chord. This modifier raises the 7th step if present.
   Then in "7.2.3 Printing chord names" is the example:

   \chordmode { \repeat volta 2 {
  f1:maj f:7 bes:7
  c:maj
} \alternative {
  es e
}
}

   The example seems to imply that the triangle is the symbol for a major chord
   instead of being the symbol for a major seventh.
   I suggest that the two relevant chords in the example be shown as f1:maj7
   and c:maj7 to avoid any confusion here.
