Well, (re-)reading docs is always good advice, but I'm pretty sure
from his other posts, he did already.
More thoroughly than others.

Though, yes, Kay could have provided some more code example(s).

But, did you (re-)read his posts, trying to understand?



Anyway, I understood him as follows:

He tried
% 1
\chordmode {
    c:sus
    c:5
}
and was surprised by the printed output.

Which actually can be achieved by entering
% 2
\chordmode {
    c:sus4
    c^3
}

And now he asks whether inputting % 1 can be made to return what % 2 does.


And now I'm thinking about it ...
