I really don't understand why people don't read mails carefully and
think about what they have read.

The original code-example didn't compile on its own, so David asked
for a compiling code.
Let me add, we recommend tiny example on our website
http://www.lilypond.org/website/tiny-examples.html
and, speaking for myself,  I really want to copy/paste/compile/watch
within ten seconds.
All other is a nuisance (at least in most cases) and I tend to
postpone work on posts without proper example-code.

>> there is no such thing as a:1.3f.5.9.
This is ofcourse correct. It's simply wrong LilyPond-syntax.

Additional David gave the sollution:
>> Did you intend to write - instead of f
but you deleted this ...
Well, one could add a corrected code, but do you really expect giving
user-support means making their work for them, in my leisure time,
without payment.
Really?

So I have to say your remark is completely inappropriate.

Btw,

\version "2.16.2" %% ??

\language "english"

chExceptionMusic = {
  <c e g d'>1-\markup { \super "add9" } % 1.3.5.9
  <c ef g d'>1-\markup { "m" \super "add9" } % 1.3-.5.9
}

chExceptions =
#(append
  (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
  ignatzekExceptions)

\chords {
  \set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
  | a:1.3.5.9 | a:1.3-.5.9 |
}

Happy Easter
