Martin, I type in chord changes from a custom library of suffixes. I have complex ones when they are needed, but I have learned to use more basic symbols where possible. Flat 13 is, more often than not, really #5 . If #11 is in the melody, it’s often superfluous to spell it in the chord. And if it’s not, it’s more often a choice than a necessity. I use these extensions only when I need them and hardly ever in bass parts.
Hope this helps, Chuck > On May 7, 2017, at 12:27 PM, Martin Nickless <mnnickl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi there was wondering if anybody that predominately writes big-band charts > Do they enter the changes by playing the cord on a midi keyboard ? > May I ask if they have built up a library of the complex chords e.g. flat 13 > sharp 11s etc > Thanks > > Sent from my iPhone > _______________________________________________ > Finale mailing list > Finale@shsu.edu > https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale > > To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: > finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu Chuck Israels cisra...@comcast.net (360) 201-3434 8831 SE 12th Ave. Portland OR 97202 <chuckisraelsjazz.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu https://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale To unsubscribe from finale send a message to: finale-unsubscr...@shsu.edu
