For extensions above the triad, you have to specify all the notes in the =
stack up to the extension you want named: e.g., d1:7 for D7, d1:7.9 for =
D9, d1:7.9.11 for D11, d1:7.9.11+ for D9#11, d1:7.5- for D7b5, =
d1:7.9.11.13 to get a chord to render as "D13.=E2=80=9D Etc. If you =
input d1:13 you'll get odd results like the D9add13; Lilypond doesn=E2=80=
=99t assume the voices below the highest extension like a musician would =
but instead is very literal.
Also, if you input a chord that doesn=E2=80=99t specifically exist in =
your Brandt/Roemer file, Lilypond will default back to the Ignatziek =
names. Even after 15 years of using a .ily file with the Brandt/Roemer =
style chord names, I=E2=80=99ll still occasionally have one sneak =
through and have to update the .ily file.
