Here's another way to look at all this.

In BIAB 2011, and this may be true in earlier versions but I can no longer check:

1) enter Xdim7
2) displays as Xdim
3) plays as Xdim7 except for certain classical styles that use only a triad, where it plays as Xdim

Having a true diminished triad without the seventh is one of the oldest requests in the Wishlist.

The reason you can type Xdim7 and it displays as Xdim is found in the file, /BB/pgshortc.txt

You may also add other chord type shortcuts as described in that file.
