Tim,
Thanks for the response. > I agree with you that first would be more sensible to a player as “C > add2 add4”, but that is still long and cumbersome. [...] This is a matter of style, and for the time being we try to provide the 'Ignatzek' style as faithfully as possible, which uses 'add2 add4'. Replacing 'add2 add4' with 'add2&4' is currently not available – while not very hard to implement (it's effectively a change of one or two lines), it would still be necessary to copy the contents of file `chord-ignatzek-names.scm` (i.e., about 300 lines of Scheme code) to just do that. The reason for this is the way the formatting is implemented, and this won't change for the forthcoming 2.26 release. After that, I guess, we are going to improve this considerably, see issues #4344 and #5224. https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/4344 https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/5224 Werner
