Thanks. Those sound like some good suggestions. I did screen shots of the select suffix page and made a big card of everything, but that's really unwieldy, and has a lot of redundant entries covering different nomenclature systems (but not the system I see most often (CM7, Cm7, etc).
It seems really 1965ish to force a user to refer to a chord suffix by number. Modern software would use an autocomplete function such as when you are typing in Google search phrases. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect software to do something like this: as I am entering a chord, if I type "Ab9", I should see a list of suffixes that include a flat 9th, allowing me to select the particular suffix I want.
