Hi Noel!
I see that is under 'Display Options' for the chord window, and wondered if it actually makes a difference to the generated chord or purely for display. I selected the setting in Display Options and input the following chords Bdim Bdim7 Bdim Bdim7 and found that it is purely a display - see attached - the G# is present in each bar.
Does anyone know a way of forcing BIAB to omit the 7th?
