New issue 4222 by address@hidden: ChordNames
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4222

In ChordNames output, after issue 1503 the "add" is omitted by default  
before each additional interval added to a triad.   Sometimes, however we  
need the "add" to distinguish cases, as in the example below.

  \new ChordNames \with {additionalPitchPrefix = "add" }
  \chordmode {
    c1:9^7 % Cadd9   root-3-5-9
    c1:9   % C9      root-3-5-7-9
  }
If we leave out the \with{}, LilyPond prints "C9" for both chords.

Probably the put the default back to "add", and let users writing for jazz  
musicians  \set additionalPitchPrefix = ""
Or better, we might have a separate property for the prefix before the  
_first_ pitch to add skips an interval larger than a third from the top nte  
of the base chord, and let that prefix be "add" by default.
