Hi,
You can find an example of a chord notated as 'phrygian' (well it's more a modal indication, but that's what the composer Gary Peacock intended) in thelead sheet for Vignette.More arguments for using names: Alt is much more easy to write and read, lesserror prone than: 7.3-.5-.9-.11-.13-So if Alt is always (or primarily) 7.3-.5-.9-.11-.13- we should add an altmodifier to LilyPond. Then, we could say c:alt, and get just what thecomposer intends. And then we should have the ChordNames context generateCAlt.At least in the Real Books, the chord usually just says "C alt" on the chart. The structure of the alt chord is pretty variable and up for interpretation on the fly. Many times it's just played as a dominant 7b5b9.
I agree with Tim. It's up for players.Assigning "7.3-.5-.9-.11-.13- " statically to the altered chord does not make sense to me. BTW, is "3-" right? I guess "3-" is meant for "#9" but looks major 3rd is missing.
Why don't we just make "alt" available only for scoring? bad idea? To me, score is important. midi is not. - kzt
