Hi,

I created a BIAB song from a midi file. When I try to fill out the lead sheet with all the info, I get this error message>

From can not be greater than thru

?????

Also, I have many jazz standards that I am trying to write the chord symbol>C7+4

It seems this isn't possible, or at least I don't see it written in the Chord grid, can someone tell me how to do this??

Thanks,
Edward

If you want raised 4 or 11, enter C13+11. If you 4 in the chord write as the previous poster, C7sus. Ray

I'm a simple man, I hate chords that go too far above 5 notes not including bass (six strings is all I have to work with grin )

I'm waiting for jazz'ers "too cool for school" and "above the riff raft crowd" to start writing chords all of the time like

C21/b19th

whistle

Edward,

C7b5 should do the job for you given the augment 4 and flattened 5 are enharmonically the same.

Regards,
Noel

Ed, in the context of jazz fakebooks I've seen, I think 7+4 is interpreted as, add a fourth to the seventh, or 7sus4. In BIAB, just enter 7sus, as mentioned above.

/Rant On/
This is why I never use the plus sign. Maybe, just maybe, they mean for that + to mean major 7. Or maybe sharp 4, otherwise better voiced as sharp eleven, or enharmonically flat five./Rant Off/

I still think you want a plain 7sus though.

Do you have an example? What's the song? I'll look at my copy and see if I can tell from context.

Larry, don't be dissing a great chord. After all, a chord can be simplified by subtracting seven from any number over seven. Hence, your C21b19 is a common C14b12 chord (of course it is - you knew that!). Cheating a bit, we can reduce further to C7b5. Just get someone with very long fingers for the proper open voicing. laugh

Hey - it's been a long day...

But Matt, I think the intended C21b19 is to have all the thirds in there, so that's all ten fingers on a piano isn't it? can't wait for a 23rd chord then only jazz players from the X-Men School of Jazz could play grin

oops have to edit: a C21 chord already takes eleven fingers so to save face I'll claim the bass player has the low root 1st covered

/reply meant for Larry Kehl even though forum says otherwise

C21b19
I can probably find that in one of my Steely Dan notation books .. probably in the Best Of or Aja book somewhere <grin>

I gotta point out though that your post with the additional 'th' made me smile.

"C21b19th"

To play "C21b19th" requires two hands, two feet, and a dog.
