The problem here, I think, is that there is really no one standard for fake chord notation.

As testified by many differing offerings from the various publishers of sheet musics etc.

I like to go with something my old teacher used to preach: "Try to make it an easy read and the musicians will love your arrangements." -- Sometimes that may mean adopting geographic conventions, too. For example, "West Coast" notation typically does things a bit differently from East Coast here in the states. Or the use of the Pipe | chord to depict stacked triads is a convention for some, but I've met others who simply just stared at the page as if it was in a foreign language.

As far as PGMusic products go, I would also like to see the programs able to handle different fake chord notations reliably and as all-inclusive as possible.

I'd also like to be able to add "custom" inputs to the chordlist, that may be the best answer for all concerned.
