Hey Phil,

Thanks for the positive feedback regarding my songs.

What you might have read in the manual is that you can create your own shortcuts to chords. As for the chords that are available to be used, that's under the control of the BIAB programmers. I've usually found though, that with a bit of creative thinking, it's possible to find suitable substitutes. Often, the full chord extension doesn't have to be played because the melody note is the note that is responsible for the extension. For example, in your chord above, it's possible that the harmonic base is really a Gm7 but the melody plays a C. The person/program that named the chord, then considered all options and concluded that the was a Gm7(add 11). In this hypothetical case, there would be no need to play the full chord because the melody takes care of it; thus a Gm7 would suffice.

All the best with "This Masquerade". It's a great song.

Regards,
Noel
