After all this time, why is it still impossible to enter a major 7 9 chord? This chord is in very common usage in fake books. Why should any jazz chord be excluded for that matter? Forties jazz chords are nice and all that but just try to enter some Pat Martino chords and you might as well be talking greek. Are you guys going to support jazz or not? I know about slash chords as a work around. Those are marginally effective unless you really need all the proper extensions in the proper place. In the middle of a project the last thing I want to do is try to fire up my midi rig and remember how everything works and then try to get it into biab. I need to be learning tunes and practicing not doing what biab should be doing.

Just type in Cmaj9. Major 9 implies a maj 7. Look in help or your manual for the chord list. Later, Ray

Notes:
- It is not necessary to type upper or lower case. For example type c6 to get the C6 chord. You should never have to use the Shift key, as Band-in-a-Box will sort this out for you.
- Any chord may be entered with an alternate root ("Slash Chord") e.g.: C7/E = C7 with E bass.
- Separate chords with commas to enter 2 chords in a 2 beat cell, e.g., Dm, G7.
- Use the letter B for a flat; e.g., Bb7
- Use # or 3 for a sharp; e.g., F#7. The pound sign (#) is the uppercase symbol of 3, so you can actually type f37 to get F#7. Band-in-a-Box will sort out the case, saving you the effort of using Shift+3 to type the # symbol.
- Use "=" for "+"; the program automatically converts "=" to "+" so that chords like C+7 can be entered without using the shift key.
- You can type C-7 for Cm7 (i.e. use the minus sign) or C7-9 for C7b9.
Tricky Chords:
C5b This is "C flat 5." It is spelled this way to avoid confusion.
C2, C5, C4, C69, C7alt, Cm7#5
Shortcut Chords:
If you enter a lot of songs, you'll appreciate these shortcut keys.
J = Maj7
H = m7b5 (H stands for Half diminished)
D = dim
S = Sus
Example: To type CMaj7, just type cj (it will be entered as CMaj7).

This question could have appeared in the regular BIAB forum as a simple "How do I enter a major 9 chord"? Ray or others would have quickly given you the answer. A work-around is not needed.

I was wondering can you get all these chords in Real tracks? Or, possibly, there may be simplified subs? If you can get them all this would be a miracle!
