I guess what I'm looking for is where the description of the "chord language" is. Trial and error and matching examples is telling me that f:7.m and ees:m.6.9 are useful, although ees.m69 seems to print a min 13th chord for reasons I don't yet grok. Is this syntax all laid out somewhere? I'm not finding it in the manual.
