As far as I know this is called a G#-minor-add9, not add2. Perhaps
this can give the clue. (I'm not sure whether this nomenclatur is
still right for minor chords, but at least I makes sense to me.)
Well, if the chord is structured from bottom to top as Tomas has given
it (G# A# B D#), I'd call it an add2.
It's one matter naming a chord, a second getting the pitches right. For
example: <e g c> is still c major. According to the context used in an
indication regarding chord inversion can be added.
As far as I understand it Thomas wants to print the name and with
gis1:m5.9 I get gis-minor-add9.
But he's not adding a ninth, he's adding the second, and it's not simply
a chord inversion. The pianists and jazz musicians I've worked with make
a clear distinction between these two voicings.
Of course, LP by default doesn't give you a sensible name if you enter
gis:m5.2, even though that's what Tomas wants, so it's necessary to add
a chord name exception to get acceptable output.
(I've ended up constructing a rather extensive set of chord name
exceptions for this reason, since I find the Ignatzek default generally
unsatisfactory.)
Regards,
Brett
