Hi all,
a proposal with the aim of more clarity ....
could we all write bar lines as |
and save the symbol / for slash chords eg G/A etc
For example .....
|A-7 D7 | Gm7 C7 | Fmaj7/A | Bb/C |
Seems clearer to me ....
what do we think of that ?

I do that so obviously I think so haha
-
And while we're at at...
+ means augmented. the FIFTH. THE FIFTH IS RAISED. Stop with this Cmaj7+11 or E7+9 GARBAGE.
And don't get me started on people who use "M" for major and "m" for minor.
-
If only there was a clear standard. Only a dream.

people who play that nasty jazz music with those nasty jazz cords should be loked up and thro away the key just sayin.

How about using " - " for minor. Big band charts are all over the place, many times I have to study the whole chart just to find out how a minor is noted.
In a feeble defense of "M" for major and "m" for minor. It was taught in theory class to describe intervals the minor had to have a line over the m or it was marked wrong. Using it for chords just adds to the confusion.
I like the interval "diminished second".

So, yous guys still aspire to understand all this stuff?
Wow.

While we at it, no #11 on dom 7th chords- it's b5 for God's sake! On the guitar, anyway. You think anyone is going to play #11 and natural 5th at the same time on the guitar??
So like C7b5, not C7#11, pls.

I don't mind that as much, because it kinda gives me a better idea as to what the person who wrote the chart is hearing function wise/what notes are acceptable against it...at least in a modern style non-functional harmony type of situation...not Take the A Train
Assuming they use it correctly, which is a whole 'nuther can of worms.

Yep, the preview showed correctly but the forum font doesn't have that character.

I see no mention yet of the Roman numerals where for instance you have IV as the major four chord, and you might want to indicate D/A# to mean D major over A# in the bass.
Does the note under the slash take its Roman numeral from the key or from the chord above the slash, and do those numbers abide by the diatonic note letter names of the key signature?
Is it IV/bIII (where the bIII is with reference to the root of the key chord I (G))
or IV/bVII (where the bVII is with reference to the root of the IV)
and should whichever is the correct numeral be changed and accidental(s) adjusted if the context is key of G (sharp key) to IV/#II or IV/#VI?
