Then perhaps I misunderstood what you meant. Sorry about that. But if your
wish that the 'input-syntax would be equal to the printed chordsymbols in the
output' were granted, it would call for a whole lot of different input styles
too, which I think is a bad idea. The input system should be based on a
consistent application of simple rules - more or less like it is today. And I
think the default output should too. Thus, I'm not sure about your example:

You're probably right about more people being more used to 6/9, but 6add9 is
unambiguous, whereas C6/9 COULD be read as C9add6 (=C13). 6/9 would be a
single exception from the rule, which in principle is a bad thing.
I also took your comment about what the midi output should or should not
reflect as a concession to the problems involved in this multi-mode input.
Thus: "output reflects input directly" + "midi not directly tied to input"
= "some kind of text markup". That's how I read you, anyway.
