Ofcourse true, if you regard the structure of the single chord,
without any envirement.
That's the way LilyPond how LilyPond deals with chords.
But look at:
m =
\chordmode {
e1:m
a:m
b:7
%\once \override ChordName.text = \markup { Em \super "sus4" }
e:sus4
e:m
}
mII = \relative {
<e e' g b>
<a e' a c>
<b dis fis a >
<e, b' e a>
<e b' e g>
}
<<
\new ChordNames \m
\new Staff \mII
>>
I do _hear_ the 4th chord as a minor chord with suspended third.
I don't know if it would possible at all to teach LilyPond to extract
the tonic or to look at a user-setted tonic.
But maybe it's worth considering that the minor-chord-modifier is
always printed, if written. Even for sus2 and sus4 chords.
For now the commented override should work.
Cheers,
Harm
