When I input D7sus4, only D7sus will appear

Can I set it to display sus4, because I want to record BIAB as a text.

Try options/preferences/display/display sus as sus4

Note that on my system it still is labeled sus.
Is this the same as your system?

I think that Dsus4 works with this setting, but D7sus4 still shows D7sus even though the Display setting seems to contradict that.

Dsus4 can appear, but D7sus4 only shows D7sus

Yes, I agree. The documentation and instructions don't appear to show that, but in reality, that is not what occurs.
Dsus4 = Dsus4
D7sus4 = D7sus

I have checked this in notation and yes a D7sus shows a D7sus4.

Is this a bug?

Mario, are you sure? I can't get that to happen either in the Chord sheet or the Notation. I get the exact opposite: D7sus4 shows a D7sus.

No matter how I set it, input D7sus4 and it will show D7sus

I meant that the notation showed the notes of the D7sus4, not the chord name.
After rereading my message I can see where it was confusing. I apologize for that.

Thanks for clarifying!
I think it's a bug and will report it to the developers. Wish me luck wink

Calling it a bug might imply it did work and now no longer works. I do not think it was ever possible to see D7sus4.

Ok, good. I made the same point in the report thread; never mind.

This also applies to 9sus and 13sus too.

I've added a note mentioning 9sus and 13sus, and likely this affects other sus chords.

Ok. But I’m not aware of any other sus chords besides 7, 9, and 13. Maybe there’s some more music theory I don’t know?

Same thing. Those are alterations of the same complex extensions of just 9 and 13. But yes, I see what you mean.

AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
