Well, the question was not about how to enter chord names, but how to have them printed in a certain manner. A different naming scheme might fail to bring the intent of the composer across, or it may be harder to the player (for example, e:m6 would actually be spelled "edim+em", and e:m7 would be spelled "em+g" in accordion music since those are the respective two chord buttons you need to press to get them). > C7b9#11 contains all the notes of C7 and F#7, as does F#7b9#11 -- same > chord. (C E G Bb Db F# or F# A# C# E G B#). I play the piano very rarely, and I think that I'd be faster producing an F#7 chord with the left and a C7 with the right hand than I would be producing F#7b9#11: it's conceptually simpler for me. The situation might be different for experienced Jazz musicians. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
