Hm! His notation seems very guitar-oriented (that's OK I've
played guitar for over 35 years).
He calls xx0233 (notes are xxDADG) "Dsus4" presumably because there is

A key signature looks remarkably like a chord,
but "min" is allowed for the one and not the other.
I thought a key signature had K: before it and a chord
had " " round it. :-)
Maybe, just to avoid this confusion, we should
adopt the general rule for both chords
Thanks. So Gsus would be G with an augmented third.
I had understood that a "suspended" chord was one where
a note from the previous chord (very often the 4th) was
made to continue sounding in the new chord.
I'd prefer the notation G4 to be the canonical ABC.

Yes and no. The "sus" term originally meant that the

Alas, he doesn't quote x32011 as a chord at all (notes xCEGCF)
Would he call it Cadd11 (because it has both a third and a fourth) or would
he call it Csus4.
My guess would be

This is true in principal, but actually what abc2midi does is very

It's suspended (fours), actually, notated as `sus' or `sus4'. Quite
frequently used guitar chord too. The trick is to replace the third by
the fourth, e.g. D = D F# A becomes Dsus4 = D G A
E.g.
EADGBE - guitar tuning
Dsus(4) = D G A = x00233

An 11th chord consists of 1, 3, (5), b7, (9), 11; a sus4 chord of 1, 4, 5.
Hence, D11 = D F# (A) C (E) G, Dsus4 =

The chord has the format noteaccidentaltype/bass, where note

This looks reasonable, but it allows no way to write a bare octave (the

I am not happy with the ambiguity of "one or more of" when in fact there are
strong context conditions, for instance minmaj is crazy
Do you mean the name is crazy or that nobody would ever use such a
chord? I can agree to the former, but a minor chord
