As an implementer I just don't see myself supporting multiple different
and incompatible dialects. Writing the code would be OK - just have a
pile of tables. Supporting it and answering the questions

You missed the point. A user should not be constrained by a programmer's
idea of how to print chord names. This should be a display option. (My
preference for this particular chord would be a lower-case f followed by

As far as I see it, if we *want* abc to require a standard for chord names,
we have three choices:
1) don't
2) pick one and stick with it, either by democratic vote or the old "I wrote
the code so I get to choose" argument *grin*
3) allow chord 'dialects' so

Example:
The chord C E G Bb D
is notated:
C9
If we want to sharpen the 9th, we can just add a + in front of it:
C+9
I will repeat, for about the fifth time, that I and many others would
read thatr as CADD9, C E G D. +/-

I';d further note that I just showed my wife this mail, without
any prompting bar 'what's that chord' and
While the great chord debate rages on, I thought I'd toss out what
I've implemented in my abc2ps clone for handling more kinds of
endings and repeats than the rather limited ABC 1.6 allows.
This isn't a solution to all the world's repeat problems. It is
merely something that is
