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.
There is no ascii code for triangle:(
? ?
copied/pasted from Unicode characters table
Yep, the preview showed correctly but the forum font doesn't have that character.
edit:C?
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?
Usually it's just above the Enter key, to the right of the }] key.
\\\\\\\\\\......reverse slash?? Maybe it's an Apple thing? Pingu? Can't use what you ain't got.

Thats a Windows keyboard above ...
what system is your 'word processor' on Cosmic ?
Windows....yup, now I see it above the enter key like sgosnell said, except mine has an odd character printed on the key, looks like a colon with 2 lines instead of dots. Oh well, it works, thanks all for the help. |||||||||||||||

Under the backspace button
My forward slash is under the question mark, to the right of the > and to the left of the pause bar. That's to say, it's between the two, at the bottom right of the keyboard, to the left of the...
Oh, forget it, it's around somewhere shreddin'

For fans of ASCII, that's ASCII 124, the "vbar". Sometimes rendered with a gap, sometimes not :crazy:
But we still can't get a triangle. I found one online and it still came out as a ?
But I did find a ø, which was great.
STOP!
I'VE SOLVED IT! TELL EVERYBODY!
It's not an ASCI code, it's a Hex code.
So now we can write C△
But it'll cost ya to get it hahahaha!
Test... #9651;
Bah! I can't get it to work. I noticed that the triangle, when the post was quoted, turned into a ?, so there are still issues.
When I write G&;)/@14
I obviously mean Gm9
The proper fonts to display the characters has to be installed on the device, and on the online software. This forum's software can't display the characters discussed, and probably many users' computers can't either. Just because a character exists doesn't mean it can be displayed. Consider all the non-Roman alphabets in existence - none of them can be displayed without the proper fonts being installed, and Windows doesn't come with many by default. You have to install anything other than English manually.
The first time I used the hex code and it displayed the triangle. When you copied it, the symbol, not the code, wasn't recognised.
Let's try it. This is the hex code:
?
That should display as a triangle. I pressed Preview and It does. I'm writing this in Preview. Now if I actually Submit the post it probably won't recognise it.
It didn't. So, in the absence of the right software, the hex code has to be entered directly first time - like this:
△
Voila.
The hex code is
`x51;
(Remove the x)
That's:
ampersand, hash, 9, 6, 5, 1, semi-colon.
See how nice I am to you? :smile-new:
