A spec no name covers still has to answer, because quality is a required
field of every Chord and of the records that travel with one. The
answer is the nearest name: the largest named chord whose every tone this
spec also sounds, and failing that the name of its base. Nothing is lost by
it — the spec and the interval template still carry the alterations, and a
symbol is written from those rather than from this name.
The quality name a spec is reported under.
