Allow chord formatting for diverse chords not just for the 'common' ones

I want to use this '6/9' format on the '7/4' (or ANY other..) of the image below.

Seems that only the 'known' types (eg: 6/9) are allowed, like if there is a list or some..

I think we should use this formatting with wtv 'adds' we want, not only the 'common' ones. Even with three numbers or more..., not just two.
And extensions with parenthesis too (eg: (b13) (11) (b9) all pyled one below the other)!!

ps: using the 3.3.2 last version here.

I'm commenting to bump this and let you know you are not being ignored. I haven't seen Marc, the person responsible for the Chord input, much the last day, but he will no doubt be around sometime today and I expect him to reply.

Currently we special-case the "69" because that one practically demands the vertical arrangement, but we don't otherwise have general-purpose code to stack other combinations. Hiopefully someday. Meanwhile people have experimented with customizing the XML files to stack other combinations, it's not all that difficult but does require some investment of time & effort. See for example https://musescore.org/en/node/124501. Search the forum (better to use Google search, the internal forum search tends to not be so good) using terms like "chord symbol", "stacked", "vertical", "customize" etc.
