I sent that before I'd finished typing.
What I'm trying to say is that the asterisk is too far from the chord
name -- it should really be _part_ of the chord name. I'd like to
achieve this with chord-name-exceptions, and have a new named chord:
% One octave up
chordExceptionMusic = {
<c' d' e' g'>1-\markup { \super "add2"}
<c'' e'' g''>1-\markup { \super "*"}
}
chExceptions = #(append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chordExceptionMusic #t)
ignatzekExceptions)
but that changes every major triad, not just the ones an octave up.
The other thing I wanted to say is that add2 chords are currently
notated as sus2 (3) --- this is technically correct, but hard to read.
