Hi Matt,
Close:
E G# A# B# D = E7 (#11 #5)
(Though the actual chord symbol would have the #11 stacked vertically above
the #5, with both alterations enclosed in tall brackets.)

I just have a few clarifications. Matthew seems to have some older concepts of
jazz chords, which, while not actually WRONG, are potentially confusing.

Do you ever use things like Cadd2 to indicate CDEG? Or

There was a now-dead convention in the 70s for naming a stack of 4ths, like G C

These look like what you're after:

I don't know how good they are: maybe some of the the list members will play
around with them and give their opinions.

What are those two different definitions?
C2 seems quite clear to me, as a commercial arranger.
I have never had a problem with this nomenclature in Australia. Commercial
charts here are written to be played, on sight, without rehearsal, and such
chord terminology has yet, in my twenty five
Also, Christopher, I was referring specifically to the sus4 chord, and
abbreviating it to the 4 chord, not to an uncommon, rarely used 70s convention,
which obviously doesn't apply to this debate.

Nigel,
I had described this in another reply on this topic. It is possible to
interpret C2 as either C D G (Cadd2omit3) or as C D E G (Cadd2). I completely
believe you that you have never had trouble with it, as there are regional
conventions that everyone in a given region seems to understand
Well, around here there is a very popular fake book, written by a Montrealer,
that uses that convention and causes some discussion every time one of those
tunes is read, so I wouldn't want anyone to reference it when reading my
charts. The 70's were not THAT long ago!
Despite its length, I
Christopher,
I agree with you on both points. Yes, C2 could be inferring no 3rd. Were it
important, I would write that. So with the issue of using C2, rather than the
more unwieldy forms, yes, there could be some doubt. But really, in a pop
chart, a contemporary rhythmic song, the third is
Christopher, I almost wish the 70s weren't that long ago in some ways. Back
then I was a young man, with a resident gig in a club, usually a ten minute
drive from my apartment, just time enough to smoke a cigarette, before I parked
right outside the club. I didn't have a wife, a mortgage, or
A small difference. I write
C2(no 3)
Reasonably simple.
I see charts a lot that say C9 but it is clearly major not dominant - a bad
error.

Hi Dennis
Does Dolet 5 give better results than the built in XML import/export
to downgrade files?
The big advantage with Dolet 5 for Finale comes from the import into
2008. There are 3 years' worth of new features and bug fixes compared
to what is built into Finale 2008. There are also

In past versions of Finale, at least up thru 2007, one could hilight a measure
or partial measure and then option-shift-click to paste it into another part of
the file. This no longer seems to work as expected in Finale 2011 and the
horrible online manual is no help. Did MM remove it or

The Mac modifier combinations in 2009 are option/shift to bring up the

On my Mac it still works that way. Opt-click pastes using the current filter
settings, while opt-sh-click leads you to the filter dialogue box first. Maybe
you have the filter settings pared down to something that doesn't copy
anything. New in recent versions (I think 2007) is that you can
