Re: D7 Chord Symbols (and others ...)

[Gordon Gilbert]

Hi Helgi!

To make something like a D7 chord symbol, simply type d(note length if 
necessary:7 .  The colon separates the note value that produces the chord 
from the additions made to it.  It IS fairly well documented in the 
manual.  So Em becomes e:m, and an E minor seventh becomes e:m7.  a 
diminished chord would be e:dim.  If you want a certain bass note, do 
this:  d:a  (D/A bass).  Hope that gives you enough to go on.

If the length of the note needs to be indicated (because it changes with 
this note, put that right after the initial letter, thus:  d1:7

Blessings,

Fr. Gordon Gilbert+
