Yes, that's a great way to see all supported chord types along with tips, such as how to deal with ambiguous chord spellings (ex. C5b).



And the reason for the strange notation is so that BIAB knows what you mean.

If you entered Eb5, did you mean a "E chord with flatted fifth" or did you mean an "E-flat 5 chord (or a power chord, if you wish)"? So the 5b construct will always mean you want to take the 5 and flat it, and just the 5 after the chord name means to play the power chord. As best I can tell, it's just a workaround that allows you to enter chords more easily, without the program having to ask you everytime "what did you mean here?"

So, Eb5 means to play the E-flat power chord and E5b means to play an E chord with a flatted fifth.

I suppose that's clear as mud now.
