There's some important chords that aren't supported yet which would be very good to have :

sus maj7 or maj sus4 spelt... C,E,B or even C,E G,B

minMaj7b5 ...C, Eb F#, B
dim ........C , Eb, A
Maj7 add6 ..C, E ,G, A
min add9....C, Eb, G, D
min9#5......C, Eb, Ab, Bb


There's maybe more that others could add.

I wanted also to ask if it would be too difficult a job to allow people to add there own chords.
Or at least some kind of facilty for dropping one chord member the 3rd or 5th or 7th from a voicing would open up a lot of possibilities. Just trying to get some feedback from you on this.

It would be good if others bumped this thread and add their won thoughts too.

hi ! I am all for that, too. A few things about the chords you mentioned:

the second chord, C, Eb, A is not a diminished chord or triad, since there's not b5.....your chord is more likely to be interpreted as min6 with no 5th ( omitting the fifth, if it's not altered, doesn't change the quality of the chord much). But yes when you write this chord in BB, it writes is as a dim7 : C, Eb, Gb, Bbb (double flat). BB should just write C,Eb,Gb for a Cdim....nothing else. This chord is almost always taken in first inversion (with the Eb in the bass) because that way sounds less harsh.

the third chord is not a maj7 chord, since there is no maj7 (B ). It's a maj6 chord

the fifth chord seems just a min7 with a suspended fourth....there's no 9th there. The Ab in that chord is actually a minor sixth (C, Ab) . If you want a sharp fifth, it would be spelt : C, Gsharp. Whether you call it C and Gsharp or C and Ab , they are the same pitches, but the interval is different

anybody, if I am wrong, don't hesitate to let me know.....I am here to learn
