I quoted from the post whomever wrote it.
Yes, for those that have some harmony knowledge it is
better to write the chord as it functions in the progression.
A lot of folks that open the real book "don't get that" if they did I wouldn't
have had so many students over the years. To those folk
the vertical aligment makes more sense...whether it be right or wrong.
I will sometimes specify a poly chord voicing or slash voicing rather than
write out the chord in it's function because I need that specific voicing
(yes understaning that inversions may be used) the basic sound that I need
for a singer or ? to hear. In my world I often deal with folks that can get
confused if something is to loaded or they don't hear consistancy in the chord.
It isn't ideal but it works a minimum amount of rehearsal.
Later
Terry
