Let's talk complex chords.

Today I encountered a song, Renata Maria. It was written by Ivan Lins, whom I consider Brazil's greatest living composer, and it has chords I could not enter as-is into BIAB. In some cases, I found a substitute, but others are just not supported. So this is a "would be nice to have" list.

Chord in the song leadsheet: Am(b6)
Chord I typed into BIAB: Am#5
Result: just fine; enharmonically the same, and I was surprised BIAB supported this


Chord in the song leadsheet: BmMaj9
Chord I typed into BIAB: BmMaj7
Result: OK, not quite right but plays the important notes (minor third & major seven); it would be nice to support mMaj9

Chord in the song leadsheet: Em9(b6)
Chord I typed into BIAB: not possible; I gave up and typed Em9, but I could have used Em#5 or Em7#5
Result: I think no combination of b6 or #5 or b13 will work in BIAB with a minor nine chord. You have to decide which is more important: the nine or the sharp five.
