I don't think BIAB will recognize that chord at the moment.
You might try the 7#9 chord, which will have both the major third on the bottom, then the dominant 7th and the minor third (#9) on top.
Certain styles may be able to interpret your C7 chord into a true ambiguous third chord, too.

Thanks for answering and expanding on C5 and power chords. I learned something here. Previously, I thought 000XXX was three hugs and three kisses!

Hi Mac - I'm going to settle for C7 and work with that. I love #9's and often use them on the 6 and 5, but they're gonna be just a bit too jangly for the 1 and 4, Thanks very much for your help

Well my theory is..pythagorean....
The 3rd is sharp in tempered tuniing, thus we horn players are supposed to know when to use the 3rd valve if we are playing a 3rd I think it is 14 cents flatter than 1 and 2 unless you naturally lip it down to compensate. A third on a tempered tuning will beat, unlike playing the root fifth which is close to beatless.....
Now perhaps in a perfect world someone had an ear and went, wow, that combo strikes a chord....

Of course, anything but just intonation is going to sound like a bit of a letdown to my naturally keen ears.... HA! just kidding, LOL! PS. I once bought one of those YOU CAN LEARN PERFECT PITCH! courses. Grrrrrrrr. It was about 20 audio CD's and cost a fortune. The first 18 or so consisted of the author saying "You can do this!" and giving examples and stories of students had got it etc. So I'm sitting there, going "Yay! I can do it" and psyching myself, but also thinking "come on then, get to the meat and potatoes".... well, about CD18 he told me to play some notes on the piano and listen for the difference. assign them colours, vowel sounds. And that was it, I never got any further. I tried for a while to hear the "eee" in f# and consider G as purple with orange spots, but it was the biggest waste of money ever..... If anyone would like to buy this course offa me, let me know!

I found that if you know your voice range and listen to a few bars and wander over to the piano that 99 percent of the time you can pick out the key signature.
If I am wrong it will be by half a step. But I am old and did that for years.
