This A# diminished chord came up in a song Dan just posted, which was in the key of Bb. I had to seriously think about how to play over that "out of key" chord. Switch from Bb natural minor to A# Locrian mode...lol Got over my head pretty quickly...lol

I also think of a diminished chord as a minor flat 5 chord and I write it as such.

I believe technically if the key of Dan's song is actually Bb then that diminished 7th chord is Bb diminished 7th.
