I'm writing a song in F major.

That means the A minor is IIIm7, and of course is phrygian!

Using Am or Am7 or even Am11 - there shouldn't be a 9.
(because the 9 would be a B natural which is not part of F major diatonic)

But BIAB always adds the 9 (that is the B natural) to the chord,
which is a "wrong" note - a sounds terrible.

Is there a way to enter a (phrygian) minor chord without the 9 (but still the 7 and/or the 11) ???


PS
Also cannnot use Am6, because the 6 would be the f#, and f# is not part of phrygian mode.
