I print-screened the chord suffix selection pages and keep them at hand. I have the most common ones memorized. If you load different chord libraries, or delete chords, that will affect the numbering.

This can be quicker if you |memorize the slots for complex suffixes, so I will find this useful for things like |7#5#9 too. | |Thanks again, | |Chuck | | | | |On Dec 17, 2012, at 10:40 AM, Doug Walter <dew...@earthlink.net> wrote: | |> Hi Chuck and Mike, |> |> While this won't solve the underlying issue you're both talking about, I thought |it would be worth mentioning another input method that can work in these |situations that doesn't require using the mouse (which you may already know |about).
