It is not clear to me how this would extend to

     \chordmode {
       c1:7+ c:5+.3- c:3-.5-.7-
     }

     \chordmode {
       c1:sus c:sus2 c:sus4 c:5.4^3
     }

     \chordmode {
       c1 c/g c/+g
     }

     c:dim7^5

and similar.  It's nice, but a single mode where the full power of
voicing _and_ chords is available similarly convenient would be
preferable to me.  Making chordmode and musicmode less compatible by
extending them in disparate ways is just not good strategy.
