I guess you stumbled about the "<CENSORED>". It wasn't intended to offend 
anyone; if it did, please pardon me. I just wanted to make myself *very* 
clear. And in the end, we found, it really *is* a bug, since it worked the way 
expected in earlier versions. :)

But, BTW: Are you really using chordmode input for displaying real notes 
except for teaching purposes? I believe most of us (and yeah, that's really 
just a rough guess) are using it just for displaying chord names… At least I 
would actually type f.e. "<c e g h>1 | <c e f a>1", or whatever else, when I 
need to display the notes, since chordmode (c1:7+ | f1:7+) whould make it "<c 
e g h>1 | <f a c e>1", which doesn't really make sense; at least for a piano 
player, or anyone else knowing something about harmonising music (No pun 
intended! Please stay calm!).
