I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out how to notate certain chords in a lead sheet.

Specifically, Dm/sus/b5 and Fm(maj7).

The best I can render for the former is "Dm7sus/add 11" which is a bit tedious.
For the latter, I can find no solution.


Plus, I can't even figure out how to achieve a simple sus chord. "<root>:sus" doesn't work.

Aren't there just some simple rules I can follow?

This may not answer all questions but have you read all of these:

5.14 Popular music <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

   * 5.14.1 Chord names <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   * 5.14.2 Chords mode <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
   * 5.14.3 Printing chord names <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


Appendix C Notation manual details <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


   * C.1 Chord name chart <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

in the manual?
