RE: Effects as a crutch

Could be.  I think some people use "+" for augmented, some for added notes.
An Am7 with a B on top would just be an Am9 (I believe), but I'm not sure 
if
sharping the 7 changes the naming, but in any case the chord I was thinking
of was A C E G# B.

** i'm of the belief that there is no sharp 7 here. as someone pointed out
earlier, there are major 7s and minor 7. the minor 7 is known as a flat 7.
