I';d further note that I just showed my wife this mail, without
any prompting bar 'what's that chord' and her reaction (she's a
keys player) was "C augmented 9th", i.e C E *G#* Bb D".
Can we just abandon the idea of "+" and "-", please? It is TOO ambiguous,
as I keep saying. There are no problems with # and b that cannot demonstrably
be resolved with judicious use of brackets.

C E G# Bb D
