You’ve picked quite a few hairs with this one!

Good Lord man! What kind of music are you playing? LOL! The Notes of C-E-G#-Bb-D# give you a C7#5#9, or a C7+5+9, and obviously BIAB won’t accept these, unless it’s included in the 2011 release.

With C-E-G#, you’re obviously in Aug. territory. But when you try to incorporate the other two notes, it opens up numerous possibilities. But when you throw in 2#’s and 1b into trying to name a chord, it further complicates matters.

I opened another music program I have and manually entered the notes, (and I had to use A# instead of Bb, since the program won’t allow you to use #’s and b’s in the same chord), and came up with the following:

E7M/5-/C
C9+/5+
A#7sus4/5-/C, ……………………. and the list of incomprehensible chords goes on and on.

A good chart for chords can be found here: http://www.silvergray.com/moneychords/Chord_Glossary.pdf

If you’re looking for backup chords, just focus on the first three, or maybe 4 notes of the chord, and maybe BIAB can come up with something for your needs. But if you try to throw really weird 5 note chords that are rarely used at it, BIAB will do what most, (if not all), programs will do and say …………… WTF?

Edit ...........................

P.S. Mac sez

And here it reports to me that BiaB will accept C7#5#9, which accomodates all of your spelling above.




So I may have typed all of this for nothing! I just found it to be a challenge to figure out what you were looking for. I was typing while Mac responded. Damn, that was a lot of thought put into something I'll never use again!
