This is correct as duration is explicitly set only for the chord.

A chord is a container with a start-time and duration. The notes are relative to it and :offset-time is
relative to the start-time of the chord.

b with a double sharp) instead of c#; by contrast setting :enharmonic to 1 (:flat) works as expected

First of all use :flat/:sharp as values.
:enharmonic is to be understood as enharmonic interpretation only, e.g., the midi note 61 can be notated as
a note with a flat or a note with a sharp. Whether there is a sharp or a double sharp, for example, is up to ENP to decide.
