well, I knew this would "controversial" :-) and being a jazz pianist/ composer/arranger/producer I like my altered chords as much as any other. But for this particular tune, I feel/think it's wrong. There's a sheer simplistic beauty in the original chords. CMaj7 | F/G | Em7 | A7(b9) that I like to preserve. / Cb _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
