You can add your own shortcuts in a text file you make yourself and name \bb\shortcut.txt. Is it possible to do this on a Mac?

Just so everyone understands, shortcut.txt does not give you the ability to make BIAB recognize new chords that it currently doesn't support, it only lets you create a shortcut to an existing chord it does support.
So, for example, BIAB doesn't recognize Csus2 (because it expects it to be C2). So in the file, you can enter "Csus2@C2". Now when you type Csus2, it doesn't give you an error entering it, but what it will show on the screen is C2.
It's also handy for every long chords. For example one of the already existing shortcuts in BIAB is "H" to represent m7b5 (or half diminished).
So if you want to have a to "C13sus#5#9#11" without having to type all that, you could enter "CY@C13sus#5#9#11" - then when you type CY in the chord grid, it will enter C13sus#5#9#11 in the chord grid.
Another one you might want (if you don't remember that a C(no3) is a C5 in BIAB) is to enter "Cno3@C5". That way, when you enter Cno3, it will enter the C5 chord.
What you can't do is use it to create a chord BIAB doesn't already know about.

Thanx John! I knew about the existing short cuts but I didn't know you could create your own.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
