Quote:

Different Styles or different Realtracks may just handle the Cadd2 differently and you might be pleasantly surprised to find that some of them do indeed play the 2 at least an octave up. This is also somewhat genre dependent. For example, a jazz piano track that features open chording is likely to spread those notes out anyway. Guitar is likely to put the nine on or at least near the top, even though its called a 2 here.

Fakebook stuff is not standardized. Whereas one author might use "C+9" to indicate Cadd9, that usage disallows being able to write other of the true 9 extensions.

C+9 is rather ambiguous, I would be wanting to know if the writer was calling for a Sharp 9, and Augmented with added 9 or the more conventional addition of the Dom 7 in there as well.

Because there is no defacto standard for fake chording, though, things are what they are.

I like the fact that Band in a Box tries to use the most descriptive ways of labeling the chords, though. That takes at least one ambiguous problem away from the thing.
