Or, when we define \sus4 to be equivalent to \chord #'(1 4 5), etc.,
\relative c' {
c1\sus4
c1\sus2
c1\sus4
c1\sus4
}

\relative c' {

c1\chord #'(5 1 3)
c1\chord #'(5 1 3 5)
}
Or one could define \sixFour or \inversionTwo to be \chord #'(3 5 1)
I don't know what shortcut one could do for an added bass, because they can
be any pitch.

which could be defined as
c\dimSevenNoFive

I understood this proposal as one that would involve eliminating \chordmode,
and replacing it with \chord #'() as part of a regular music stream. That's
what I was responding to. If we're talking about keeping chordmode, with
another syntax for note mode, I wouldn't be in favor of that.
