Hi, Ray. You have to add a line at the end of the pgshortc.txt and then save it. After that, you have to start BiaB again, and if you have entered a legal shortcut, it will handle some of the typing for you.

For example, in my 2010 installation, I just added

99@7b9

(on a line by itself). Whenever I type "99" the program will substitute "7b9" for it; "C99" gives me a result in the chordsheet of "C7b9", and it does work OK. I think program updates over-write changes to that shortcut file and make it necessary to do it all again each time. If you make a complex one, better keep a copy somewhere, in case I'm not wrong.

The first part of the pgshortc.txt file explains its use, but it took me a few times through before I grasped it. You can't do things that are against BiaB convention. I get the impression BiaB wants nothing to do with a dimMaj7 chord, no matter what you try. I'm probably wrong about that, too. Let us know how you make out with it.
