That doesn't help me at all. I'm not entering chords on the staff, but by name in a \chordmode block. Nothing in the manual addresses naming conventions in this context. How do people writing Jazz lead sheets deal with this? Plus, I'm not happy with the nomenclature. For example, there is no plain "sus." Only "sus4," "sus2," etc. And I'd rather omit the "add" in chords like "C7/add9" and "D6/add9," preferring instead "C9" and "D69" (where 6 and 9 are stacked). There are more examples I could give, but basically all I want is a means for tailoring the chord names to reflect common shorthand conventions, as per my own preference.S L Raymond wrote:
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?

Jazz composers, help me out! I've got a major project that's on hold until I can resolve this issue.
