Hi Carlos. I answer a lot of questions like this, too.

Just to review what you must already know, that I often put in an answer:

The Chord Builder gives the list of the chord types that are supported in BIAB.

The file, x:\bb\pgshortc.txt is worth looking at, since it will translate some entries into other supported chord types, and you can add your own shortcuts into a file you create called x:\bb\shortcut.txt You would do this if you want to type a particular chord but are satisfied to hear the supported one that BIAB substitutes.

You can add your request for a new chord type in the Wishlist Forum.

Note that there are some chord types that say one thing but play another. For example, a dim chord is actually played as a dim7 chord in most styles in BIAB. Entering a dim7 chord will appear as a dim chord but sound as a dim7 chord.

Also, for complex chords, the chord you hear and see when auditioning the chord in the Chord Builder may be played in BIAB with different inversions and some chord tones left out, as a real musician would do. That same chord may also be played differently in different places in the song. Thus, even if you know in theory you do not want all of the tones in a particular chord, in practice it may sound OK.

Hope that helps.

Matt
