=  Add Extra Chord Symbols for Chord Progressions =

New Symbol name
Symbol to use, followed by description, or use standard symbols...

Standard symbols are the note name followed by 7, m7 etc. Complete list so far for c:

C, Cm, Csus2, Csus4, Cadd2, Cadd9, Cadd4, Cmadd2, Cmadd9, Cmadd4, Cadd2add4, Cmadd2add4, Caug, Cdim, Cdim7, C5, C6, Cm6, C6/9, Cm6/9, C6/7, Cm6/7, Cmaj6/7, C7, Cm7, Cmaj7, C7sus4, C7sus2, C7add4, Cm7add4, C9, Cm9, Cmaj9, C9sus4, C11, Cm11, Cmaj11, C13, Cm13, Cmaj13, C13sus4, Cmmaj7, Cmmaj9, C7#9, C7b9, C7#5, C7b5, Cm7#5, Cm7b5, Cmaj7#5, Cmaj7b5, C9#5, C9b5.

Note names can be the standard twelve tone letter names, Solfeggio, or 19, 31 or 72 tone names - see the help for the chord progressions field.

You can also use I ii VIIb etc - these combine both the chord and the note name in one symbol, for instance ii7 is the same as Dm7 and II7 is D7

To define a chord symbol of your own, just enter the chord as scale degrees, and then place the chord symbol as the first word of the description.

You will then be able to use your symbol to make new chords in the list, or to select chords in the progression text box.

You can also use the standard symbols such as Am7 etc. See the tool tip help for the Progession field for more details about how these work.

You can follow the symbol with white space or =. Tthe = sign is optional, just to help the reader.

Alt + F1 or Alt + click (alternatively Caps lock physically held down + F1 or Click) takes you to the on-line page at the robertinventor.com web site about the current main window task - which gives a short introduction to it for newbies to the program. If there is no on-line page specific to a task, takes you to the main tune smithy page on the web site.

Since the help for Tune Smithy is currently a bit out of date and needs to be redone completely for the new 3.0 release, then you may find the on-line page for some of the newer tasks particularly useful.
