thanks Alan, I might try it if nothing works, although it seems a pretty long-winded method. When it comes to computer stuff, I am lazy

luckily, I have found some styles that don't seem to throw these 'embellishments', so I think I'll start making a little list and using them consistently.

As far as the m add9 , I tried to just write the B in the chords, it works reasonably well, but still it's a ridicolous amount of work just to get a m add9 chord

I have no reason to believe that PG music won't address this little problem....it's nothing that they can't do ,as all the other new terrific BB features demonstrate
