RE: chordname suffixes not superscript?

My question is this: is there a way to set chordnames so that the chord suffix, 
no matter what it is, is not superscript? In other words, can I make it so that 
"sus4" or "7" has the same baseline and size as the chord root, just like "m" 
does?

While not as 'elegant' I guess, my chord notation needs are simple, so I simply 
define a 'markup' variable which will make the baselines all the same.

Cm7 = \markup { \null \raise #0.5 {\sans \small \general-align #X #CENTER Cm7 } 
}

Then I simply add '\Cm7' thus:

{ c4^\Cm7 }

The other variables \null \raise #0.5 and \general-align #X #CENTER are what I 
find works for me in my compositions, so these might not be apt for you, but I 
hope you can get my point.
