I had trouble with pop-chords.ly: first I couldn't find it, and then 
when I found something that purported to be it I zigged when I should 
have zagged and couldn't make it work.

But this additionalPitchPrefix thing works beautifully.  And, for those 
who come behind me, it works fine with \chordmode too:

\version "2.18.2"

\new ChordNames {
  \set additionalPitchPrefix = "add"
  \chordmode { c:5.9 c:m7.5- c:5+.9- }
  <c e g d'>
  <c e g bes d'>
}

(Gives Cadd9 Cø C#5addb9 Cadd9 C9, exactly as required.)
